Dissociative Disorders

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Through my work with trauma survivors, I have come to work with the dissociative disorders. With a constant eye to safety and grounding, I have guided clients through reflective and experiential exercises to explore their understanding of their experiences and ways in which they may cope or overcome their perceptual challenges. Since my undergraduate degree, I have been motivated to work with individuals experiencing dissociative disorders. I read a number of first-person accounts, as well as articles, and watched countless interviews with afflicted individuals, expert professionals, and close others in the early days of this pursuit. I continue to read what I can and gain insight from those afflicted, where possible.

Dissociation is the mind's great ability to protect you and help you get through extreme overwhelm and hardship. We all have the ability to do it. It's on a continuum. When it's not seen as a disorder, it shows up as numbing or being on auto-pilot (like when you forget to take your exit driving and you say "my mind was somewhere else"). When it's a disorder, it can have tremendous impacts on many areas in your life. Focusing on integration and stabilization becomes key. We combine trauma informed care with the structural dissociation theory of personality, along with practices informed by internal family systems to deliver a tailored approach, in addition to trauma therapy that targets the root causes.

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

Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Dissociation is often linked to a trauma response. Trauma is a reaction that individuals have in response to an event that they perceive as overwhelming. Responses to trauma can be so overwhelming that completing daily tasks, such as going to work or getting out of bed may be a struggle. A significant symptom of trauma is feeling as if the traumatic event is still happening, sometimes, even years after the event occurred. In order to protect from the perceived traumatic event, it is understandable that people may choose to "check out" or "dissociate" from the experience. One of the downfalls of dissociation is that individuals are brought further away from the present moment, which is safe and non-threatening. In our work together I provide strategies to cope with dissociation in order to feel safe and gain renewed hope for the future.
