Dissociative Disorders

Joshua Lewis

Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
Often an adaptive response to traumatic experiences, we might unconsciously dissociate in order to cope with the overwhelming impacts. My trauma-informed approach to working with dissociative states involves a phased approach toward healing that seeks to sensitively and safely reconnect us to our bodies, foster reintegration between the mind and body and restore a sense of agency, resiliency and emotional strength.

Dissociative Disorders

Tracey Nguyen

Counsellor/Therapist, RN, MN
Dissociation disorders come from dissociating from ourselves as a coping mechanism to deal with a painful childhood or reality. People with dissociation are often creative and sensitive, and floating above it all was a way to diffuse and deal with unsafe emotional, physical and sexual violations experienced often in earlier life. To heal from dissociation, we work to re-integrate reality and work on healing some core issues where your boundaries and feeling safe were violated repeatedly. In a safe and shared presence, we work on slowly coming back into your body, feeling the sensations and emotions that arise, and address the deeper relationship going on within. Once we work on healing what keeps you running from yourself, dissociation naturally heals itself once you feel safe enough to stay in your body.

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.

Dissociative Disorders

Anna Skomorovskaia (Sky)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
As a psychotherapist, I chose to work with dissociative disorders because I understand the impact that trauma can have on an individual's mental health. Dissociation is a natural response to trauma, where individuals may experience a disconnection from their thoughts, emotions, or sense of self. Dissociative disorders are complex and can be challenging to treat, but I believe that therapy can help individuals better understand and manage their symptoms. Through therapy, I work collaboratively with my clients to develop coping strategies and build resilience. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where my clients feel heard and understood, and I am committed to helping them on their path towards healing and recovery.
