Calgary, Alberta therapist: Daniel Klassen, psychologist
Dissociative Disorders

Psychologist, Provisional Psychologist (P7619) in Alberta, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) for the rest of Canada
Dissociation is more common than most people believe. In fact, everyone dissociates to some degree. For instance, when waiting at the doctor’s office, we often turn to our cellphone, dissociating from the wait to something more engaging. Similarly, entering the house and misplacing your keys momentarily disconnects you from what you are doing to something that is captivating your attention. Indeed, choosing not to deal with something that is uncomfortable is a form of dissociation, and this is not necessarily pathological. Trouble arises when you begin to detach from your usual self, behaving in ways that don't align with your true nature, losing time that others remember, or experiencing different aspects or parts of yourself competing for control, leading to feelings of disjointedness or a battle for dominance. Many of Daniel’s clients experience some form of this, and he is skilled in addressing it when dissociation becomes pathological.

Dissociative Disorders

Gibson & Associates: Psychotherapy, Counselling + Consulting

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Do you have difficulty staying the present? This may feel like parts of you are pulling you away from what is happening now or memories of the past. This can feel like avoiding, losing time, becoming distracted, or worst- completely blacking out. This happens when our system is overwhelmed by stress caused by current or past triggers and our survival instinct kicks in that creates distance from these feelings. It can be both a relief and a scary experience. We work with dissociation by getting to know why it is happening, what parts are seeking to distance, and provide resources and connection to working with those parts to increase their safety. Please contact us to begin this work and schedule your first appointment.

Dissociative Disorders

Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Dissociative disorders manifest a profound interplay between the psyche's protective mechanisms and the echoes of past trauma. A person's sense of self can be shattered, resulting in a loss of identity and reality. This can be caused by events such as severe trauma, caregiver relationship problems, and early attachment experiences. Like a fragmented mosaic, dissociative symptoms manifest as a coping mechanism, shielding individuals from the unbearable weight of their past experiences. Therapy offers a sacred space for exploration and integration, gently guiding individuals through the labyrinth of dissociation to reclaim their sense of wholeness and connection. By fostering secure attachments and processing traumatic memories, individuals can mend the fractures of their psyche, forging a path towards healing and self-discovery.
