Dorothy Geiger, LMFT & Associates
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS; LMFT
Dissociation can show up in many forms - from mild "highway hypnosis" or "spacing out" all the way to the creation of separate identities, and everywhere in between. Dissociation can be a very effective form of self-protection....right up until it isn't. I can help you with the use of CRM feel safe enough in mind and body to heal the wounds that led you to dissociation.

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Dissociation is the mind's defense against persistent or severe trauma and neglect. It is when a person disconnects from their thoughts, feelings, memories or sense of identity. This process is an amazing defense/survival mechanism, but it also leads to patterns that interfere with normal functioning. Ego-state work, combined with EMDR works to heal the profoundly painful impact of this type of trauma, and leads to significantly enhanced resilience and the ability to experience joy, love and belonging - both internally, and in relationships with others.

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
Dissociative Disorders occur when the mind is overwhelmed and needs to "check out." This is an automatic process, especially when the person has nowhere to turn for relief from their suffering. Then the mind does its job to protect the person by disconnecting and "going" elsewhere. Dissociative Disorders are almost always the result of trauma, some type of traumatizing experience. In my experience, these kinds of disorders require long-term treatment 2-3 times per week. Just being present in the room with the patient is where I start. Creating a very safe environment that is conducive to talking about your experiences. As the patient begins to experience a safer space I will add the supplements, diet and exercise, and the creation of special "flow experiences" for the patient. You are welcome to call my office at 661-478-0667 for an evaluation.

Jessica Thompson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
When we dissociate from our bodies or the environment, our system is often attempting to protect and regulate itself from overwhelm. So we need to explore what is overwhelming the body and nervous system, and how to best respond. I also recommend a deep distress tolerance practice here--learning to accept and be with ourselves no matter how we are showing up.
