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.

Dissociative processes can often be hard to put into words and even harder to understand the experiences that lead to the symptoms developing. Through an eclectic approach combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Somatic approaches, and psychodynamic approaches, we can find the relief you are looking for.

Ever feel like you check out emotionally? Ever wonder where the time went? Ever feel like you are numb with no emotions? DBT (dialectic behavioral therapy) can help you to reduce the avoidance of emotions by teaching you coping skills to use to manage the emotions when they become intense so that you can ride the emotion wave without having to dissociate. Learn how to love your emotions in a healthier way.

Counselor/Therapist, M.S. LCMHC Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and EMDR Certified Therapist
The brain has an amazing way of helping us survive despite living through traumatic experiences, especially in early childhood. The challenge comes, as these ways of surviving do not serve us well as we get older and are no longer in danger. We will work together to heal the past and move on in a way that will support your current endeavors, relationships, hopes and dreams.

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.
