Dissociative Disorders
Nina Hopmeier
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.

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.

Dissociative disorders can create a sense of disconnection from oneself and reality, but healing is possible. With a gentle and supportive approach, I help individuals explore the underlying trauma that may be contributing to their dissociative experiences. Through Hypnotherapy and mindfulness-based techniques, we work towards mind/body/spirit integration and reclaiming a sense of wholeness and authenticity.
