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.

Tracey Nguyen
Counsellor/Therapist, RN, MN
Dissociation disorders come from dissociating from ourselves as a coping mechanism to deal with a painful childhood or reality. People with dissociation are often creative and sensitive, and floating above it all was a way to diffuse and deal with unsafe emotional, physical and sexual violations experienced often in earlier life. To heal from dissociation, we work to re-integrate reality and work on healing some core issues where your boundaries and feeling safe were violated repeatedly. In a safe and shared presence, we work on slowly coming back into your body, feeling the sensations and emotions that arise, and address the deeper relationship going on within. Once we work on healing what keeps you running from yourself, dissociation naturally heals itself once you feel safe enough to stay in your body.

Arne Pedersen - Awareness In Health
Hypnotherapist, Registered Counselling Hypnotherapist
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.

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.
