Dissociative Disorders
Gibson & Associates: Psychotherapy, Counselling + Consulting
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Do you have difficulty staying the present? This may feel like parts of you are pulling you away from what is happening now or memories of the past. This can feel like avoiding, losing time, becoming distracted, or worst- completely blacking out. This happens when our system is overwhelmed by stress caused by current or past triggers and our survival instinct kicks in that creates distance from these feelings. It can be both a relief and a scary experience. We work with dissociation by getting to know why it is happening, what parts are seeking to distance, and provide resources and connection to working with those parts to increase their safety. Please contact us to begin this work and schedule your first appointment.

Dissociative Disorders
MindfulWe Holistic Psychotherapy & Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, IMD (candidate)
Dissociation is an incredible tool that our body and minds have learned to utilize in extremely distressing situations. A coping strategy that was helpful once, often may not be in 10, 20, 30 etc years. Unfortunately, coping strategies don't develop in the linear ways that human beings are expected too. Despite the traumatic events that may have caused dissociation, humans do have more access and resources available to them in adulthood. These extra resources can mean learning and implementing more helpful strategies that align with who you are present day. It is my greatest honor to work with humans with these magnificent coping strategies. While we learn new strategies, we will work to integrate the fragmented parts into the whole being that you are.

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.

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.
