Disidentification

Disidentification refers to the capacity for creating psychological distance from internal states, helping people to regard their thoughts, emotions, and sensations as passing mental phenomena that is not necessarily true and not necessarily identical to one’s self. Disidentification helps to moderate the innately human tendency to mind-wander in a self-immersed state experiencing spontaneous internal thoughts such as self-appraisals of the static self.
