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.

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
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.

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.

Anna Skomorovskaia (Sky)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
As a psychotherapist, I chose to work with dissociative disorders because I understand the impact that trauma can have on an individual's mental health. Dissociation is a natural response to trauma, where individuals may experience a disconnection from their thoughts, emotions, or sense of self. Dissociative disorders are complex and can be challenging to treat, but I believe that therapy can help individuals better understand and manage their symptoms. Through therapy, I work collaboratively with my clients to develop coping strategies and build resilience. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where my clients feel heard and understood, and I am committed to helping them on their path towards healing and recovery.
