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.

Dissociation
Open Hearted Holistic Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Dissociation is a very normal survival strategy that shows up as a response to distressing events. It can be a mercy and can keep us alive at times and then sometimes it can also keep us from connecting with others when we want to. It goes hand-in-hand with trauma work and understanding dissociation is a part of being trauma informed. Instead of looking at dissociation as a bad thing, I look at it as a survival strategy, without judgment.

Dissociation
Patricia Tuohy
Counselor/Therapist, M.S. LCMHC Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and EMDR Certified Therapist
The brain has an amazing way of helping us survive despite living through traumatic experiences, especially in early childhood. The challenge comes, as these ways of surviving do not serve us well as we get older and are no longer in danger. We will work together to heal the past and move on in a way that will support your current endeavors, relationships, hopes and dreams.

Dissociation
Susanne R Mealer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
To what extent a person dissociates varies. Finding out where on the continuum you are is important. People dissociate to keep themselves safe physically, mentally and emotionally. This can become unsafe to do and the very thing that helped you survive can get in your way of living.
