Greta Cowles Consulting
Life Coach, LMFT, SEP, PIT, Trauma Stress Studies
These disorders are caused by trauma and are a natural mechanism to deal with trauma: somatic therapies support the processing of the trauma, which is held in the body and can be discharged, such that one does not dissociate in the future.

Dr. Mitchell Roth
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, JD, PsyD, LMHC
Dissociative disorders result from adaptation to emotionally or physically painful circumstances beyond the control of the patient. Finding and resolving the feelings avoided through dissociation restores the availability of normal feelings. Internal family therapy treatment is particularly helpful in this area.

Lisa C. Holder
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC
Dissociative Disorders can be very difficult to live with and can be complicated to unwind in the therapeutic process. However, I have a great deal of professional experience with Dissociation. These states of mind are often rooted in traumatic situations or abuse. They range from mild to severe on the spectrum and there are many forms of dissociative disorders including DID. All of the forms can be treated with a variety of approaches including Somatic Therapy, Trauma Therapy, and EMDR.

Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
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 plaques 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. Learning other trauma responses that don’t come with the down sides of dissociating, like memory problems or depersonalization/derealization anxiety.

When people experience trauma, the mind has a wonderful way of protecting us from the pain that sometimes comes at the service of disconnecting from ourselves.
