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
Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
Art therapy can provide a grounding and integrative approach to working with dissociative disorders by helping you gently reconnect with yourself in a safe and supportive way. Through creative expression, you can externalize internal experiences, explore fragmented parts of the self, and develop a stronger sense of presence and embodiment. The art-making process allows for nonverbal communication, making it an effective tool for processing emotions and experiences that may feel difficult to articulate. My approach incorporates mindfulness and body-based practices to support reconnection, self-awareness, and a greater sense of stability and integration.

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.
