Dissociative Disorders
Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Dissociation is a common experience, more prevalent than many realize, as everyone dissociates to some extent. Everyday instances, like reaching for a cellphone to escape boredom in a waiting room or momentarily forgetting where you placed your keys after entering the house, are mild forms of dissociation. These moments involve a brief detachment from the present task to focus on something more engaging or distracting. Likewise, choosing to avoid discomfort by ignoring certain thoughts or situations is a mild form of dissociation, which isn’t necessarily pathological.
However, dissociation can become problematic when it leads to a deeper detachment from one’s sense of self. This can manifest as acting in ways that feel out of character, experiencing episodes of lost time that others recall, or feeling as if different aspects of oneself are vying for control, leading to inner conflict or confusion. When dissociation reaches this level, it can cause significant distress, impacting a person’s sense of identity and consistency.
Daniel, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level 2 (CCTP-II), works with clients who experience pathological dissociation, including derealization and depersonalization. His expertise allows him to help clients understand and manage dissociative experiences, fostering greater integration and stability in their lives.

It's important to acknowledge that it's common for everyone to experience a disconnect between their thoughts and actions and occasional memory gaps regarding events in their lives. This can also be a coping mechanism during instances of abuse. Adverse childhood experiences, often abbreviated as ACEs, frequently lead to dissociation as children grapple with pain and challenges they are not yet equipped to confront. This topic is particularly close to me due to my training, presentations, and personal life experiences.
