Dissociative disorders mess with memory, identity, and how you see things. I'd help by digging into past traumas and emotional issues, teaching coping skills, and working on grounding techniques to reduce dissociative symptoms and improve overall well-being.
Grounding, soothing, and leaning to separate out past trauma from present reality helps decrease dissociation. I also approach this with some of the approaches I’ve already mentioned. People who dissociate are often plagued with past thoughts or memories of a very difficult time. Exploring childhood patterns of family interactions gives one a key to understanding their dissociation as a trauma response. Also essential is the learning of other trauma responses that don’t come with the down sides of dissociating, like memory problems or depersonalization/derealization anxiety.
Do you have trouble remembering certain events, specifically traumatic ones, or seem to "lose" time? Do you find yourself "checking out?" If so, please reach out and learn how to be more present and engaged in your life.
