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.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Dissociation as a protective, adaptive response to trauma rather than a conscious choice. When emotions are suppressed or invalidated, especially in childhood, the mind may disengage to maintain safety. I guide clients to reconnect with their bodies, explore their emotions, and be curious and compassionate to reintegrate the self.

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.

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.
