Dissociation
John Zavaglia (Mind LIfe)
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA Registered, PC Grad MHN & Neuro, MBA
Feeling disconnected from yourself, your thoughts or the world around you can be confusing and unsettling. You may struggle to understand why it's happening or worry about what it means. Together, we can make sense of your experiences, recognise patterns and develop practical ways to feel more grounded, present and confident in managing difficult moments.

Dissociation
Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Reg. Certified Practising 32932
There are genuine reasons why we might dissociate or be taken over by an altered state. Often these reasons have to do with how we were shaped by our environment in early childhood, and sometimes this gets complicated with experiences later in life.
Dissociation often arises alongside other conditions such as depression or anxiety.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I work with you to understand what those reasons are, and how we can transform them into new ways of being. This means collaborating with you in creating a unique treatment approach that fits your exact needs.
Dissociation can be very difficult to navigate, but it is possible to stabilise one's state of mind and move towards a safety and security that means the episodes become less and less frequent. The work might involve tracking through the body the interlinking of one's thoughts, feelings, sensations and behaviours, and how they relate to dissociation. The work might also involve deep visualisations to create an internal sense of security in relationships (Integrative Attachment Therapy).

Suzanne
Registered Psychotherapist, MCouns
Dissociation is a natural and intelligent response to overwhelming experiences - your system's way of protecting you. Using IFS, we'll work with your dissociative parts with curiosity and respect, understanding their protective role while gently helping you develop more connection and presence. The somatic approach helps you safely reconnect with your body at your own pace.

Dissociation
Dr Israel Berger
Therapist, MBBS, FRANZCP, PGCert(Youth Mental Health), MPsych, PhD(Psych), CCTP
I have worked with people with a variety of dissociative disorders, including dissociative identity disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder with derealisation/depersonalisation, and borderline personality disorder. For DID, my aim is to help you to function at your best, not to forcibly integrate personalities (which can be very damaging). For other dissociative disorders, my aim is to help you reduce your symptoms and improve function and relationships.
