Term: Detachment

DEFINITION:
A state of mind where a person feels unassociated with their environment or simply doesn’t care to participate with the world outside of them. Although generally an undesired state of mind, it can be used during hypnotherapy to allow a person to safely experience in their mind events that were painful when originally experienced in order to help a person release unwanted feelings and emotions (and their resultant behaviors) associated with that original experience.
