Emily Bennings

Dissociation
Brandon Zahl
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Feelings of disconnection from ourselves, others and our daily life come as a result of unresolved trauma -- not because we are broken. Together, we'll tap into the inherent presence of the body (if that feels safe) and cut through the fog and numbness that seeps into your life. We'll listen to your body for any signs of unresolved trauma or relational wounding and work gently with the body to heal.

Dissociation
Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
Dissociative identity disorder is associated with overwhelming experiences, traumatic events and/or abuse that occurred in childhood. Dissociative identity disorder was previously referred to as multiple personality disorder.
Symptoms of dissociative identity disorder (criteria for diagnosis) include:
The existence of two or more distinct identities (or “personality states”). The distinct identities are accompanied by changes in behavior, memory and thinking. The signs and symptoms may be observed by others or reported by the individual.
Ongoing gaps in memory about everyday events, personal information and/or past traumatic events.
The symptoms cause significant distress or problems in social, occupational or other areas of functioning.
In addition, the disturbance must not be a normal part of a broadly accepted cultural or religious practice.
With appropriate treatment, many people are successful in addressing the major symptoms of dissociative identity disorder and improving their ability to function and live a productive, fulfilling life.
Treatment typically involves psychotherapy. Therapy can help people gain control over the dissociative process and symptoms. The goal of therapy is to help integrate the different elements of identity. Therapy may be intense and difficult as it involves remembering and coping with past traumatic experiences. Cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy are two commonly used types of therapy. Hypnosis has also been found to be helpful in the treatment of dissociative identity disorder.
There are no medications to directly treat the symptoms of dissociative identity disorder. However, medication may be helpful in treating related conditions or symptoms, such as using antidepressants to treat symptoms of depression.

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.
