Mary Mikhail
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BSW, MACP, RSW
Dissociation can feel like being disconnected from yourself or your surroundings, losing track of time, or having gaps in memory. These experiences can be confusing or unsettling, and they may affect your sense of safety and connection in daily life. You don’t have to explain everything perfectly to begin therapy.
We can start with what you’re experiencing now, identify situations that may bring on dissociation, and develop practical ways to feel more grounded and supported. When it feels appropriate, we can also explore how past experiences may relate to your current patterns. We’ll move at a pace that feels manageable, with attention to your needs, boundaries, and goals.

Arne Pedersen - Hypnotherapy Victoria
Hypnotherapist, RCCH
Dissociative disorders can create a sense of disconnection from oneself and reality, but healing is possible. With a gentle and supportive approach, I help individuals explore the underlying trauma that may be contributing to their dissociative experiences. Through Hypnotherapy and mindfulness-based techniques, we work towards mind/body/spirit integration and reclaiming a sense of wholeness and authenticity.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you experience dissociation, you may feel disconnected from your body, emotions, or surroundings. There may be moments where you feel numb, spaced out, or as though you are watching yourself from the outside. At times, you may experience memory gaps or feel that different parts of you hold different emotions or reactions. These experiences can feel confusing or frightening.
At Selah Counselling, we approach dissociative disorders with care, patience, and clinical expertise. Dissociation is often a protective response to overwhelming stress or trauma. Your mind learned how to survive. Our work focuses first on safety and stabilization. We help you strengthen grounding skills, build nervous system regulation, and gently increase awareness at a pace that feels manageable. Over time, we support integration, helping the different parts of your experience feel more connected and cohesive. The goal is not to remove protection abruptly, but to provide sufficient safety that you no longer need to disconnect to cope.
