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.

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.

Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
Art therapy can provide a grounding and integrative approach to working with dissociative disorders by helping you gently reconnect with yourself in a safe and supportive way. Through creative expression, you can externalize internal experiences, explore fragmented parts of the self, and develop a stronger sense of presence and embodiment. The art-making process allows for nonverbal communication, making it an effective tool for processing emotions and experiences that may feel difficult to articulate. My approach incorporates mindfulness and body-based practices to support reconnection, self-awareness, and a greater sense of stability and integration.
