How Can Day Dreaming Be Treated?

Hello

I had a condition as a child- around the age of 8 - that still do not understand why it was happening. I would talk and suddenly I would loose concentration and loose sight in front of me. Like day dreaming. It would happen while talking and thinking about something else. I would stop talking and concentrate on what I was thinking - looking like day dreaming. it was very difficult to deal with because it would happen publicly and it was extremely uncomfortable and even embarassing

Can someone explain what that was? I was not taken to a doctor

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. If you want explanation for your behavior, then there are many. Body is a complex mechanism. So many things happen and so many signals pass. Every thought is an electric signal. The brain does lot of jobs and one among them is to transmit and receive these signals which acts as thinking (broadly).

You cannot stop thinking. They are part of life. But certainly you can divert them with your own thoughts. This is called prioritization.

For your condition, stop worrying about the problem and you will soon learn how negligible the problem is. Even small rock seems mountain if you worry about it. Understood. Learn to ignore your problem.

For more psychotherapy techniques, You can post a direct question to me in this website. Include every detail as much as you can. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques to control your condition. I am sure that the techniques should be a success.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
