Because people so identify with their egos and bodies, it often takes a traumatic experience to shake them out of "identification" and snap out of these ego elements that give you colored perception on everything, including being part of the body. You can often hear these stories of people having spiritual experiences during near death experiences, car crashes and some other events. It's not a guarantee you can have these experiences, it is very much a personal occurrence. If you have already been awakened from low levels of consciousness such experiences won't give you anything at all, it's usually something people at low levels experience.
Another case of the r@pㅌ situation was feminist Germaine Greer, who had that stepping out moment during her rape. I recommend reading her story. Her experience wasn't disassociation in a traditional trauma response, but was what Kim was saying.
