Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Dissociation is a behaviour that is automatic and can be incredibly frustrating; one can feel betrayed by their own body, frustrated by the behaviour occurring, and confused as to what triggers it or why it happens in the first place. When I work with clients with dissociation issues, it is imperative to understand why the brain would cause us to dissociate, and how we can retrain the brain to eliminate this very problematic behaviour altogether.

EMDR Therapy Toronto - Heal Anxiety, PTSD, Childhood Trauma - Ayan Mukherjee
Registered Psychotherapist, Certified EMDR Therapist & Consultant
If you are experiencing symptoms of dissociation such as spaciness, depersonalization, derealization, disconnection from the body, ghost sensations or feelings in your body that don't have an organic cause, or noticing the inner fragmentation of parts of Self, then know that there is help and this can be worked on. Dissociation is essentially a defense mechanism that gets activated for you to be able to get away from distressing situations or feelings internally, when you can't do so externally. I specialize in dissociative disorders and you can email me for a free 30-minute phone consultation to discuss more.

Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Who does not want to escape reality at times? Dissociative disorders are mental disorders that involve experiencing a disconnection and lack of continuity between thoughts, memories, surroundings, actions and identity. People with dissociative disorders escape reality in unhealthy and involuntary ways as a means to deal with intrusive and often traumatic thoughts and memories.

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.
