Dr. Carolina Castanos, PhD, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, PHD, LMFT
A strategy our mind uses to deal with a traumatic experience is to separate from what is happening. Sometimes this strategy is generalized and we find ourselves feeling disconnected, sometimes outside of our bodies. We first learn different strategies and ways to relate with our pain.

Counselor/Therapist, LCSW-S, ACSW, SAP, CART
Also known as Multiple Personality Disorder, this issue is actually a coping mechanism that helped you survive a traumatic time in your life. Now your mind is telling you that you are ready to resolve the past and move forward. I have the expertise to help you do that in a safe, caring environment.

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.
