Grounding, soothing, and leaning to separate out past trauma from present reality helps decrease dissociation. I also approach this with some of the approaches I’ve already mentioned. People who dissociate are often plagued with past thoughts or memories of a very difficult time. Exploring childhood patterns of family interactions gives one a key to understanding their dissociation as a trauma response. Also essential is the learning of other trauma responses that don’t come with the down sides of dissociating, like memory problems or depersonalization/derealization anxiety.

Dissociation is largely the result of fear, feeling unsafe, or experiencing danger and not having anyone to turn to in that moment. As a result dissociation becomes a go-to defense mechanism. We'll work through this experientially to bring about healing. When the unresolved trauma is resolved usually the dissociation will also resolve. This does take some dedicated work. But it's worth it.
