When is non attachment the same as physical dissociation?

The practice of non attachment has come quite naturally to me but the line between non attachment and dissociation and 'no attachment' at all seems like a fine line.

Granted... I have learned how to enjoy the physical pleasure of a given experience without seeking to hold onto it indeffinately. .. I am able to appreciate the moment for what it is.

It just seems that there is a lot of language missing to bridge the gap between the eastern and western experience and it can kind of means that experience can become rather polarised... Rather then balanced. .. And connected.

I feel like there is language missing in the dialogue bridging eastern and western philosophy...

For example... Non attachment in my perspective used to mean... No attachment rather then experiencing things in the moment but not becoming dependant on them.

The language bridge was missing and so I could not assimilate the teaching relevant to my western understanding.

Non attachhment to me translated to No attachment at all...
Not very healthy...

For the lay person such as I, it seems like there is a lot to gain from Buddhism for the westerner but much of if gets lost in translation and language which bridges the gaps could be very useful...

Just some pondering.
