Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, CCC, RP (Qualifying)
Dissociative disorders can often arise as a coping mechanism when individuals experience overwhelming stress or trauma. When emotions or memories become too intense to process, the mind may "shut down" or "disconnect" as a way to protect itself. I specialize in helping individuals with dissociative disorders, utilizing techniques that help expand their window of tolerance—the range of emotional intensity a person can experience before feeling overwhelmed. By using EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness, I support clients in processing past trauma, increasing emotional regulation, and integrating fragmented aspects of the self, ultimately promoting healing and emotional stability.

Arne Pedersen - Hypnotherapy Victoria
Hypnotherapist, RCCH
Dissociative disorders can create a sense of disconnection from oneself and reality, but healing is possible. With a gentle and supportive approach, I help individuals explore the underlying trauma that may be contributing to their dissociative experiences. Through Hypnotherapy and mindfulness-based techniques, we work towards mind/body/spirit integration and reclaiming a sense of wholeness and authenticity.

Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Dissociation is often linked to a trauma response. Trauma is a reaction that individuals have in response to an event that they perceive as overwhelming. Responses to trauma can be so overwhelming that completing daily tasks, such as going to work or getting out of bed may be a struggle. A significant symptom of trauma is feeling as if the traumatic event is still happening, sometimes, even years after the event occurred. In order to protect from the perceived traumatic event, it is understandable that people may choose to "check out" or "dissociate" from the experience. One of the downfalls of dissociation is that individuals are brought further away from the present moment, which is safe and non-threatening. In our work together I provide strategies to cope with dissociation in order to feel safe and gain renewed hope for the future.

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.
