Dissociation can show up as feeling disconnected from your thoughts, emotions, or sense of self. I provide a steady and grounding therapeutic space to help individuals understand these experiences and the role they have played in managing overwhelming situations. The work focuses on increasing awareness, strengthening a sense of stability, and gradually reconnecting with one’s internal experience in a safe and manageable way.

Arcata, California therapist: Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D., pre-licensed professional
Dissociation

Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.

Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
Dissociation typically stems from trauma as a response to keeping a core part of the self safe. Human beings are neurologically wired to protect themselves from harm. Yet this learned response to abuse or terror may no longer serve its purpose and may be inhibiting you from living freely and fully engaging in meaningful activities or relationships. I can help you to explore--unobtrusively and at your pace--how to acquire mastery over the mechanisms that you developed to keep yourself safe.

Santa Monica, California therapist: Timothy Walker, marriage and family therapist
Dissociation

Timothy Walker

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sometime in the past, you were exposed to something, or a series of somethings, so radically alarming that your mind and body and spirit could not remain integrated. You split apart in order to survive. And as the threat subsided, you connected back to yourself, but fractures remain, and you never know when a new stressor will send you into a dissociative state once again. You don't have to live your life, floating like a ghost behind, and above your body, witnessing it all from afar. Let's heal your dissociation, and mend the inner schisms.

San Jose, California therapist: Growth and Change Counseling, marriage and family therapist
Dissociation

Growth and Change Counseling

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sometimes in life, an experience so traumatic happens that my psyche splits and cuts off part of myself in order to protect myself from what happened. It was a defensive mechanism at the time of the trauma to protect me from my incapacity to process it, but now its also created a situation where part of me is cut off from the other part of me. If I stay this way, I remain stuck in a fragmented or wounded place psychologically. The reality is we all want to be whole and part of healing may involve a process of reintegrating all the parts of myself with each other. If you think you may be dissociating, call us. We would come alongside you to help you.

Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
Trauma based dissociative (parts) support has been our focus and specialization throughout (14+ years). Most brains dissociate to some degree, under deep strain and stress and even repeated strain, dissociation is a way that some brains adapt to the intensive or repeated stress/strain/torture. We draw from DBR (shock recovery work), CranioSacral brain support work, Parts (TIST, IFS, EFIT, IPNB, Bonnie Badenoch's work, ...and inner child work, somatic and expressive arts, neurodevelopmental support, as well as characterological structure work within an attachment theory, non pathologizing framework. We work with clients to identify parts, systems, adaptations, responses, alters ... and what activates them. We support with memory reconsolidation and integrative support. Via IFS, Polyvagal Theory, Attachment Theory, NVC and IPNB Integration Processes, we work through mapping the system and healing exiled parts. For integration we offer Eco-Relational support, Mindfulness, or whatever framework the client gravitates towards and feels safe with accessing. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions.

San Diego, California therapist: Vince Heyman, marriage and family therapist
Dissociation

Vince Heyman

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Do you feel detached from yourself or the world around you, as if your life feels flat, unreal, or unfamiliar. These experiences can be deeply unsettling and isolating, and it’s common to feel scared or unsure how to talk about them. I want you to know that these experiences are more common than people realize, and doesn’t mean there is something “wrong” with you. Depersonalization/derealization are often protective responses to stress, overwhelm, or trauma to create distance from your lived-experience as a way of coping. In therapy, we focus on reducing fear around the experience, relaxing your mind and body, and understanding and working through the underlying beliefs, patterns, and experiences contributing to your symptoms. As acceptance and relaxation increase, these symptoms often begin to loosen on their own. Healing is possible, and I’d love to walk alongside you as you find your way back to steadier ground.

Valencia, California therapist: TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA, licensed psychoanalyst
Dissociation

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA

Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
Dissociative Disorders occur when the mind is overwhelmed and needs to "check out." This is an automatic process, especially when the person has nowhere to turn for relief from their suffering. Then the mind does its job to protect the person by disconnecting and "going" elsewhere. Dissociative Disorders are almost always the result of trauma, some type of traumatizing experience. In my experience, these kinds of disorders require long-term treatment 2-3 times per week. Just being present in the room with the patient is where I start. Creating a very safe environment that is conducive to talking about your experiences. As the patient begins to experience a safer space I will add the supplements, diet and exercise, and the creation of special "flow experiences" for the patient. You are welcome to call my office at 661-478-0667 for an evaluation.
