Dissociative Disorders
Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sometime in the past, you were exposed to something, or a series of somethings, so radically alarming that your mind and body and spirit could not remain integrated. You split apart in order to survive. And as the threat subsided, you connected back to yourself, but fractures remain, and you never know when a new stressor will send you into a dissociative state once again. You don't have to live your life, floating like a ghost behind, and above your body, witnessing it all from afar. Let's heal your dissociation, and mend the inner schisms.

Dissociative Disorders
Babak Max Karimbeik
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Dissociation is a protective mechanism of the reptilian brain (brainstem) that can manifest in adaptive or maladaptive ways in
human beings. As your therapist, I will facilitate grounding using all available senses and experiences to bring you into
the here and now. The next step is exploring the adaptive and maladaptive ways you sever from the present
moment and in response to which cues or triggers. We will then learn how your internal system of parts operates in order to let it guide case conceptualization.

Dissociative Disorders
Jennifer Canu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Dissociation in and of itself is not pathological. However when one has experienced or is experiencing extreme stress, anxiety, trauma or other challenges, dissociation may become significantly disruptive in one's life and even cause significant personality change. I utilize an integrated approach incorporating parts work (IFS), psychoeducation, and EMDR therapy to increase sense of safety, reduce overwhelm, and increase one's window-of-tolerance for the here-and-now.

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
Dissociative Disorders occur when the mind is overwhelmed and needs to "check out." This is an automatic process, especially when the person has nowhere to turn for relief from their suffering. Then the mind does its job to protect the person by disconnecting and "going" elsewhere. Dissociative Disorders are almost always the result of trauma, some type of traumatizing experience. In my experience, these kinds of disorders require long-term treatment 2-3 times per week. Just being present in the room with the patient is where I start. Creating a very safe environment that is conducive to talking about your experiences. As the patient begins to experience a safer space I will add the supplements, diet and exercise, and the creation of special "flow experiences" for the patient. You are welcome to call my office at 661-478-0667 for an evaluation.

Dissociative Disorders
Christopher Schamber
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Dissociation is one of the brain's most powerful tools to cope with threatening memories or information. A little dissociation can be healthy, but for some folks, they may begin encountering blank spots in their memory or the feeling that they are acting radically different in various situations. By calming the nervous system and processing underlying trauma, these dissociative symptoms can be alleviated.
