A dismemberment of consciousness occurs in the moments in which traumatic stimuli are observed. Upon encounter a portion of the main body of consciousness separates, forming a secondary body devoted to the containment and preservation of the stimuli. This secondary body of consciousness, in serving its new task of containment, acts as a vessel separate from the main body. Repeated encounters with traumatic stimuli result in the creation of many new stimuli containment vessels and an increasing dismemberment of the main body of consciousness.
