Dissociation
Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Dissociation is a very intelligent survival response to overwhelming experiences. It can look like feeling numb, disconnected from your body, losing time, spacing out, or feeling like you are watching your life from the outside. I work slowly and carefully with dissociation, focusing first on safety, grounding, and building a stable internal sense of self. We go at a pace that does not retraumatize or overwhelm your nervous system.

Dissociation
Dr Jody Eiser
Therapist, Doctorate in Psychology
Dissociation can be understood as an adaptive response to overwhelm, a way the mind and body learn to cope when experiences feel too much to process. My work focuses on understanding these patterns through a trauma-informed lens and a focus on trauma endurance, supporting a gradual reconnection with self, emotion, and experience in a way that feels safe and contained.

Some of the clinicians at MBC work with this diagnosis from a trauma informed somatic approach, EMDR or IFS. We are also Polyvagal informed and understand the importance of helping you understand how your nervous system is reacting to triggers.

Dissociation
Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Dissociation is often the mind’s way of surviving something too overwhelming to process in the moment, whether that’s a single event or prolonged early experience. I work with clients to build a sense of safety and grounding first, then gently reconnect with the parts of experience that have been split off, using trauma-informed approaches alongside Transactional Analysis to make sense of the underlying script.

Staff at New York Pathways utilize enhanced training and professional experiences such as Cognitive Behavioral Approaches and Gestalt/Psychodrama/Experiential therapies in order to address the coping mechanisms and stress responses that often lead to destructive or compulsive sexual behaviors.
