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.

Stacey Hellman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
Dissociation operates on a spectrum and dissociative disorders occur as a direct result of long-term trauma starting in early childhood and continuing throughout adolescence. Dissociation is a childhood survival strategy but can be disempowering in adulthood and actually cause problems. I am trauma certified and can provide psychoeducation about trauma and dissociation. I teach clients how to recognize when a dissociative episode is about to happen and can provide simple, concrete grounding tools to help clients prevent dissociation, and how to "bring themselves back" if they do become dissociated. We can practice these tools over and over in session with the intention of clients using them on their own in-between sessions as much as possible. The best way to learn these tools is to practice them when the client ISN'T dissociated so that over time it becomes more natural and the client doesn't have to think too hard about what to do or how to do them. I provide an in-depth evaluation at the beginning of therapy to determine the level/degree of dissociation a person may be experiencing.

Dissociative disorders can present with complex symptoms such as memory gaps, identity confusion, and emotional disconnection. Our practice focuses on carefully coordinated care, using medication management to target associated conditions like depression, anxiety, or PTSD. We work closely with referring therapists and care teams to support long-term stabilization and integration, always prioritizing safety and patient trust.

Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Dissociation often goes hand-in-hand with stress, trauma, and other forms of emotional overwhelm. While the spectrum of dissociation ranges from zoning out to complete shut-down, it can create invisible barriers between you and your goals. If you're feeling stuck, confused about why your best efforts in life aren't as satisfying, or have tried therapy without success then don't hesitate to reach out. In working together, we would use EMDR and Internal Family Systems interventions to identify the areas where you're finding those barriers and build the resources, skills, and regulation to be able to achieve those goals without losing yourself along the way.
