    Stage dissociation is a therapeutic technique where the mind splits or dissociates from one's awareness as a way to avoid unpleasant ideas or experiences. It has traditionally been seen as pathological but is actually a natural, non-pathological phenomenon that can be used therapeutically. Stage dissociation encourages objectivity and a change in perspective that can lead to a change in response. It is used to help clients distance themselves from fear, pain, or embarrassment during anxiety-provoking situations or treatment like for arachnophobia. The technique involves visualization techniques like imagining oneself on a TV screen to experience confidence vicariously and safely dissociate before fully reintegrating in a strengthened way.
