Framework: Cambridge Depersonalization Scale (CDS) & Sensory Integration Metric · 100% Private & Free

Measure feelings of out-of-body detachment, dreamlike environmental unreality, and sensory fog. Free clinical self-assessment based on the Cambridge Depersonalization Scale.

Scientific Overview

Depersonalization and Derealization (DPDR) represent an emergency biological circuit-breaker where the brain dampens emotional transmission and perceptual vivacity to shield the conscious mind from severe sensory or emotional overwhelm.

What This Assessment Evaluates

  • Measures Depersonalization (bodily detachment), Derealization (glass wall/fog), and Cognitive Lag
  • Normalizes DPDR as an overprotective protective buffer, eliminating fear of psychosis or insanity
  • Step-by-step 5-4-3-2-1 sensory anchoring and tactile somatic grounding protocols

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I going crazy or losing my mind during a DPDR episode?

No. The very fact that you recognize things feel unreal proves intact reality testing. Psychosis lacks this awareness. DPDR is an anxiety-driven sensory defense, not insanity.
