Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Dissociation often goes hand-in-hand with stress, trauma, and other forms of emotional overwhelm. While the spectrum of dissociation ranges from zoning out to complete shut-down, it can create invisible barriers between you and your goals. If you're feeling stuck, confused about why your best efforts in life aren't as satisfying, or have tried therapy without success then don't hesitate to reach out. In working together, we would use EMDR and Internal Family Systems interventions to identify the areas where you're finding those barriers and build the resources, skills, and regulation to be able to achieve those goals without losing yourself along the way.

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.
