This paper suggests that during severe and prolonged traumatic experiences such as trauma type II, one may develop disownership toward the entire body. In this situation one's body becomes a pure object and as such an integral part of the hostile environment. This article applies Merleau-Ponty's approach to perception in order to improve our understanding of this process.
