Yeah, it’s certainly very easy to confuse defusion and dissociation. Dissociation is something like trying not to let something in at all (a sensory experience or an emotion or a memory), whereas defusion is something like letting it in fully but then—not sure how to describe this part—feeling whatever you feel about it, and feeling calm one meta level up about whatever that is?
