Dissociation
Gregory Smith
Counselor/Therapist, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), BCPC
Dissociative Disorders, including DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder - formerly Multiple Personality Disorder), requires a very special set of skills and experience to help those suffering. I have spent most of my counseling career working with those that used dissociation to survive extremely difficult abuses with embedded intolerable conflicts. I have worked with all levels of PTSD and dissociation, including the worst where ritual abuse was used to create programmed alters. Deprogramming the human mind is not an easy task, but using the right approached, it can be achieved so that even the most traumatized individuals can go on to live their lives as it was originally intended. This type of therapy requires lots of patience and time on behalf of the therapist and client in order to be healed and restored from all the brokenness. Therefore, because of the nature and complication of resolving DID, longer sessions are required in order to make definitive progress.

Dissociation
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who feel disconnected from themselves in ways that can be hard to explain. Dissociation can look like going through the motions on autopilot, feeling far away or unreal, losing track of time when you’re stressed, or noticing that your emotions and body feel muted, numb, or out of sync. Some people describe it as feeling foggy, checked out, or like they’re watching their life from the outside. Many people I see function well in work or school while privately feeling detached or not fully present. You may have learned to shut down, go quiet inside, or “check out” to get through overwhelming situations, and those strategies can persist long after the original stress has passed. These patterns often develop in situations where you had to stay small, stay calm, or stay invisible to feel safe. Over time, dissociation can shape how you relate to yourself, how you make decisions, and how close you allow others to get. You may find it hard to trust your internal signals, access your emotions, or feel connected to your own preferences and needs. In our work together, we approach dissociation with respect for the ways it has protected you. We look at what your nervous system learned to do under pressure, how these patterns show up now, and what helps you feel more grounded and present without overwhelming the parts of you that have relied on distance to stay safe. The goal is not to get rid of dissociation, but to help you understand it, reduce its cost, and build a steadier connection to yourself so you can move through your life with more clarity, choice, and a deeper sense of being “here” in your own life.
