Dissociation
Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
Grounding, soothing, and leaning to separate out past trauma from present reality helps decrease dissociation. I also approach this with some of the approaches I’ve already mentioned. People who dissociate are often plagued with past thoughts or memories of a very difficult time. Exploring childhood patterns of family interactions gives one a key to understanding their dissociation as a trauma response. Also essential is the learning of other trauma responses that don’t come with the down sides of dissociating, like memory problems or depersonalization/derealization anxiety.

Dissociation
Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
The majority of my training and clinical work has been focused on helping adults recover from early traumatic experiences. Often, the traumas my clients are working through is rooted in early relational and/or sexual experiences that leave a lasting impact on their formative developmental years and beyond. These early experiences often impact how clients have learned to operate and survive in relationships, including developing dissociative processes to cope. Dissociative disorders exist on a continuum, ranging from developmentally typical dissociation to a severely fractured experience of the self. Complex trauma often presents with dissociative elements that clients have adapted to survive and tolerate feeling overwhelmed or triggered.

Dissociation
MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Dissociative disorders, characterized by disruptions in memory, identity, consciousness, and perception, can be profoundly challenging for those affected. These disruptions often stem from severe trauma or stress, leading individuals to disconnect from their thoughts, feelings, or sense of self as a coping mechanism. Hypnotherapy, with its ability to access the subconscious mind, offers a compassionate and insightful approach to addressing dissociative disorders.

Dissociation
Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
For many years I have worked individually with clients who suffer with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), as well as in couples, families, and group settings. Popular books such as "Three faces of Eve" and "I Never Promised you a Rose Garden" illustrate what this"split personality" condition can be like. Many clients with DID find healing through Hypnosis. The therapeutic goal is the integration of the various identities. Some of these clients are using medication prescribed by psychiatrists as well. Also, I have worked with other therapists' clients with DID when the therapists were on vacation. Clients with this diagnosis often take a large proportion of a clinician's time, and the responsible therapist cannot leave without having adequate cover. My free zoom seminars provide an opportunity to sample what it is like to work with me. Please feel free to call for info or a consultation: 301-229-8000

Dissociation
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who feel disconnected from themselves in ways that can be hard to explain. Dissociation can look like going through the motions on autopilot, feeling far away or unreal, losing track of time when you’re stressed, or noticing that your emotions and body feel muted, numb, or out of sync. Some people describe it as feeling foggy, checked out, or like they’re watching their life from the outside. Many people I see function well in work or school while privately feeling detached or not fully present. You may have learned to shut down, go quiet inside, or “check out” to get through overwhelming situations, and those strategies can persist long after the original stress has passed. These patterns often develop in situations where you had to stay small, stay calm, or stay invisible to feel safe. Over time, dissociation can shape how you relate to yourself, how you make decisions, and how close you allow others to get. You may find it hard to trust your internal signals, access your emotions, or feel connected to your own preferences and needs. In our work together, we approach dissociation with respect for the ways it has protected you. We look at what your nervous system learned to do under pressure, how these patterns show up now, and what helps you feel more grounded and present without overwhelming the parts of you that have relied on distance to stay safe. The goal is not to get rid of dissociation, but to help you understand it, reduce its cost, and build a steadier connection to yourself so you can move through your life with more clarity, choice, and a deeper sense of being “here” in your own life.
