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.

Dissociative processes can often be hard to put into words and even harder to understand the experiences that lead to the symptoms developing. Through an eclectic approach combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Somatic approaches, and psychodynamic approaches, we can find the relief you are looking for.

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.

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.
