What is a common psychological response of a client experiencing Dissociative Fugue?

Clients experiencing Dissociative Fugue often exhibit confusion and disorientation. This condition involves a temporary loss of personal identity and the inability to recall important autobiographical information, typically related to stressful events or trauma. As a result, individuals may find themselves in unfamiliar surroundings or not recognize their past, leading to confusion regarding their identity, personal history, and environment. This disorientation is a hallmark of the fugue state and significantly affects the client's ability to engage with their surroundings or make sense of their experiences. Understanding this response is critical for providing appropriate support and intervention for those affected by Dissociative Fugue.
