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
Lindsey Luedtke
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Dissociation is a strategy the mind uses to help individuals cope with an emotion that feels overwhelming, scary, or threatening. Once we are able to shift your relationship to the underlying emotion, the dissociation will ease and allow you to live life in the present.

Emily Bennings
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
I completed the training offered by the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISST-D) in 2021 on complex trauma and dissociative disorders. My clients find me to be non-stigmatizing and focused on internal cooperation vs. integration.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
There are different kinds of dissociative disorders. If you have DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), then unfortunately I lack training in that area.
However, if you chronically are feeling dissociated, disconnected from your body and/or the present moment, and want to be able to be more in the here and now, I absolutely have training around that. Somatic Experiencing can be very effective at slowly and gently supporting your nervous system to move out of freeze (dissociation) and into a more vital, grounded headspace.

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.
