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.

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
Dissociative Disorders occur when the mind is overwhelmed and needs to "check out." This is an automatic process, especially when the person has nowhere to turn for relief from their suffering. Then the mind does its job to protect the person by disconnecting and "going" elsewhere. Dissociative Disorders are almost always the result of trauma, some type of traumatizing experience. In my experience, these kinds of disorders require long-term treatment 2-3 times per week. Just being present in the room with the patient is where I start. Creating a very safe environment that is conducive to talking about your experiences. As the patient begins to experience a safer space I will add the supplements, diet and exercise, and the creation of special "flow experiences" for the patient. You are welcome to call my office at 661-478-0667 for an evaluation.

Dissociation
Tim Eby-McKenzie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Dissociation is the mind's defense against persistent or severe trauma and neglect. It is when a person disconnects from their thoughts, feelings, memories or sense of identity. This process is an amazing defense/survival mechanism, but it also leads to patterns that interfere with normal functioning. Ego-state work, combined with EMDR works to heal the profoundly painful impact of this type of trauma, and leads to significantly enhanced resilience and the ability to experience joy, love and belonging - both internally, and in relationships with others.
