Summary
This study tests whether gentle chest vibration or breath focus exercises can reduce symptoms of dissociation in people who have experienced trauma. Researchers will measure changes in brain activity and self-reported symptoms over 8 sessions. The goal is to understand if these simple body-focused techniques can help people feel more connected to themselves and their surroundings.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to ease dissociation symptoms in people who have experienced trauma.

This is an early mechanistic study, not a large treatment trial. The interventions are brief (8 sessions) and may not produce lasting change. Results may not apply to everyone with dissociation.
