Teo Counselling Services
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.

Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Dissociative disorders often involve feeling disconnected from one’s thoughts, emotions, or body. This disconnection can show up as numbness, zoning out, or a sense of being detached from reality. Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy gently engage both body and mind, helping individuals safely reconnect with their sensations and emotions, process experiences, and build a stronger sense of presence, integration, and self-awareness.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
There are different kinds of dissociative disorders. If you have DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), then unfortunately I lack training in that area.
However, if you chronically are feeling dissociated, disconnected from your body and/or the present moment, and want to be able to be more in the here and now, I absolutely have training around that. Somatic Experiencing can be very effective at slowly and gently supporting your nervous system to move out of freeze (dissociation) and into a more vital, grounded headspace.
