Dissociation
Mariya Garnet
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist ( Qualifying)
Dissociation is one of the body's most intelligent responses to overwhelming experience. It can look like spacing out, feeling unreal, losing time, or living at a distance from your own life. Many people do not recognize it because it has been their normal for so long. I work somatically and gently to help you rebuild connection to your body and your present experience, at a pace your nervous system can actually tolerate. We do not force contact. We create the conditions for it to return.

Dissociation
Infinite Horizons Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MCP, CCS, RP
Dissociation can feel like being disconnected from your thoughts, emotions, body, or surroundings, and is often a response to overwhelming or traumatic experiences. You might experience memory gaps, feeling “zoned out,” or a sense of not fully being present in your life. In therapy, we focus on creating safety and stability first, helping you build grounding skills and a stronger sense of control. Over time, we gently explore underlying experiences at a pace that feels manageable, supporting you in feeling more connected, integrated, and present.

Dissociation
Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you experience dissociation, you may feel disconnected from your body, emotions, or surroundings. There may be moments where you feel numb, spaced out, or as though you are watching yourself from the outside. At times, you may experience memory gaps or feel that different parts of you hold different emotions or reactions. These experiences can feel confusing or frightening.
At Selah Counselling, we approach dissociative disorders with care, patience, and clinical expertise. Dissociation is often a protective response to overwhelming stress or trauma. Your mind learned how to survive. Our work focuses first on safety and stabilization. We help you strengthen grounding skills, build nervous system regulation, and gently increase awareness at a pace that feels manageable. Over time, we support integration, helping the different parts of your experience feel more connected and cohesive. The goal is not to remove protection abruptly, but to provide sufficient safety that you no longer need to disconnect to cope.

Dissociation
Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Dissociation is more common than many people realize—everyone experiences it to some degree. Everyday moments, like instinctively reaching for a phone in a waiting room to avoid boredom or briefly forgetting where you placed your keys after walking into the house, are mild forms of dissociation. These instances reflect a temporary shift in attention—a momentary disconnection from the present environment in favor of something more engaging or less stressful. Even consciously avoiding unpleasant thoughts or situations can be a subtle form of dissociation, and in these milder forms, it’s not inherently pathological.
However, dissociation can become disruptive when it deepens into a more profound detachment from one’s identity or reality. In these cases, individuals may find themselves acting in ways that feel foreign or out of character, losing chunks of time that others remember, or sensing that different parts of themselves are in conflict. Such experiences can lead to confusion, inner turmoil, and a fragmented sense of self, significantly impacting daily functioning and emotional well-being.
Daniel, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level II (CCTP-II), specializes in helping individuals who experience more severe forms of dissociation, including derealization and depersonalization. With deep expertise and compassion, he supports clients in understanding their dissociative experiences and guides them toward greater self-awareness, integration, and emotional stability.
Daniel offers both brief screening for dissociation and comprehensive, customized assessments that evaluate a wide range of personality difficulties, trauma, and commonly co-occurring concerns. He welcomes inquiries regarding this and other psychological testing services he provides.
