Dissociative Disorders
Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
Dissociative disorders are a complex group of conditions characterized by a disconnection between thoughts, identity, consciousness, and memory. As someone providing support to individuals with dissociative disorders, I offer a safe and validating space for them to explore their experiences and symptoms. Through therapy, we work together to understand the underlying causes of their dissociation, which may include trauma, stress, or other psychological factors. I provide education about dissociation and its effects, helping patients develop coping strategies to manage dissociative episodes and increase awareness of their triggers. Additionally, I work with patients to strengthen their sense of self, enhance grounding techniques, and promote the integration of dissociative parts. My goal is to empower patients to regain a sense of control over their lives, improve their overall well-being, and foster greater connection and coherence in their identity and experiences.

Dissociative Disorders
Lauren, Simpson
Psychologist, Psy. D, LP, TIYT, CCTP-II
Did you know that everyone experiences some form of dissociation every seven to eleven minutes? Dissociation exists on a spectrum.
On the less extreme end, dissociation is a common experience, such as driving a familiar route on autopilot and realizing you weren't actively thinking about the directions. On the other end, dissociation serves as a survival strategy to protect us from intense pain or trauma by disconnecting us from our bodies and environment, allowing us to function in daily life.
Individuals who rely on this type of extreme dissociation may find themselves losing time, struggling to recall significant life events, or feeling detached and confused by familiar surroundings or relationships.
While dissociation is a powerful tool that may have protected someone at one point, it can feel disorienting in the present once the threat has passed. Healing involves reconnecting with yourself through kind, warm curiosity. By doing this, you can address the wounds of the past and feel fully grounded in the safety of the present moment.
