Susanne R Mealer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
To what extent a person dissociates varies. Finding out where on the continuum you are is important. People dissociate to keep themselves safe physically, mentally and emotionally. This can become unsafe to do and the very thing that helped you survive can get in your way of living.

When people experience trauma, the mind has a wonderful way of protecting us from the pain that sometimes comes at the service of disconnecting from ourselves.
Lisa C. Holder
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC
Dissociative Disorders can be very difficult to live with and can be complicated to unwind in the therapeutic process. However, I have a great deal of professional experience with Dissociation. These states of mind are often rooted in traumatic situations or abuse. They range from mild to severe on the spectrum and there are many forms of dissociative disorders including DID. All of the forms can be treated with a variety of approaches including Somatic Therapy, Trauma Therapy, and EMDR.

Life Coach, LMFT, SEP, PIT, Trauma Stress Studies
These disorders are caused by trauma and are a natural mechanism to deal with trauma: somatic therapies support the processing of the trauma, which is held in the body and can be discharged, such that one does not dissociate in the future.
