Dissociation
Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
Dissociation typically stems from trauma as a response to keeping a core part of the self safe. Human beings are neurologically wired to protect themselves from harm. Yet this learned response to abuse or terror may no longer serve its purpose and may be inhibiting you from living freely and fully engaging in meaningful activities or relationships. I can help you to explore--unobtrusively and at your pace--how to acquire mastery over the mechanisms that you developed to keep yourself safe.

Dissociation
Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
Unfortunately, many who suffer with Complex PTSD can also show signs of Dissociative Disorders. Dissociative disorders can severely disrupt daily functioning, making it difficult to maintain relationships or employment. It can cause significant confusion, as individuals may not remember past events, feel detached from their surroundings, or experience shifts in identity. I have experience working with all five major types of dissociative disorders: dissociative identity disorder (DID); dissociative amnesia (DA), including dissociative fugue (DF) as a subtype; depersonalization/derealization disorder (DPDRD); other specified dissociative disorders (OSDD); and unspecified dissociative disorders (UDD). Treatment focuses on connecting with the present, managing triggers, and processing trauma. Immediate steps include grounding techniques, developing safety, practicing self-care, and develop skills to identify and cope with personal triggers that worsen symptoms.

Dissociation
Vince Heyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Do you feel detached from yourself or the world around you, as if your life feels flat, unreal, or unfamiliar. These experiences can be deeply unsettling and isolating, and it’s common to feel scared or unsure how to talk about them.
I want you to know that these experiences are more common than people realize, and doesn’t mean there is something “wrong” with you. Depersonalization/derealization are often protective responses to stress, overwhelm, or trauma to create distance from your lived-experience as a way of coping.
In therapy, we focus on reducing fear around the experience, relaxing your mind and body, and understanding and working through the underlying beliefs, patterns, and experiences contributing to your symptoms. As acceptance and relaxation increase, these symptoms often begin to loosen on their own. Healing is possible, and I’d love to walk alongside you as you find your way back to steadier ground.

Dissociation
Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sometimes in life, an experience so traumatic happens that my psyche splits and cuts off part of myself in order to protect myself from what happened. It was a defensive mechanism at the time of the trauma to protect me from my incapacity to process it, but now its also created a situation where part of me is cut off from the other part of me. If I stay this way, I remain stuck in a fragmented or wounded place psychologically. The reality is we all want to be whole and part of healing may involve a process of reintegrating all the parts of myself with each other. If you think you may be dissociating, call us. We would come alongside you to help you.
