Dissociation
Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
When working with dissociation, I take a somatic and parts-oriented approach rooted in my training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and the TIST model (a trauma-informed parts framework). Dissociation is often the nervous system’s way of managing overwhelming or unresolved experiences. Rather than seeing it as something to get rid of, I help clients understand it as a meaningful and protective response.
Together, we work to gently track dissociative patterns, build awareness of what's happening in the body and nervous system, and begin reconnecting with parts of the self that may have been cut off or pushed aside. Through psychoeducation, experiential work, and compassionate curiosity, we begin to repair internal disconnection and foster communication between parts. From this perspective, I see internal conflict not as a problem, but as a sign of growing integration and movement toward healing.

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.

Chico is a north-state California city home to California State University Chico and the closest significant urban center to Paradise, the community almost entirely destroyed by the 2018 Camp Fire—the most destructive wildfire in California history—and the city's mental health landscape has been profoundly shaped by absorbing tens of thousands of Camp Fire survivors who relocated to Chico bringing acute wildfire trauma, grief, and the ongoing stress of rebuilding lives after catastrophic loss. Butte County Behavioral Health provides public mental health services, and many local therapists have developed expertise in disaster trauma, environmental grief, and the specific mental health needs of displaced wildfire survivors. Chico State's counseling center serves the significant student population, and the university's presence gives the city a progressive character that supports an open attitude toward mental health support. Common therapy concerns include wildfire-related PTSD and grief, displacement and housing insecurity, student mental health, anxiety, and the long-term psychological impact of living in a region permanently changed by catastrophic fire.
