  ABSTRACT: Depersonalisation and derealisation involve a sense of detachment as well as unreality. Such symptoms can arise from CPTSD (complex post traumatic stress disorder). This research was interested in exploring to what extent refugees and asylum seekers who were trafficked to the UK experienced these symptoms, and what were some of the barriers surrounding this topic. Based on the results provided, the researcher was interested in further exploring whether short-term interventions yielded more successful results as suggested by policy-makers. According to the data collected from qualitative interviews, long-term interventions (without an interpreter) were more successful for young Albanian women who had been trafficked and were presently undergoing treatment for the symptoms they were exhibiting due to their CPTSD. The results and further findings were discussed to pave the way for more research in the subject, as well as provoking discourse regarding asylum seekers and refugees who have been trafficked.
