Ariana N. Zeppieri-Makhan
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Through my work with trauma survivors, I have come to work with the dissociative disorders. With a constant eye to safety and grounding, I have guided clients through reflective and experiential exercises to explore their understanding of their experiences and ways in which they may cope or overcome their perceptual challenges.
Since my undergraduate degree, I have been motivated to work with individuals experiencing dissociative disorders. I read a number of first-person accounts, as well as articles, and watched countless interviews with afflicted individuals, expert professionals, and close others in the early days of this pursuit. I continue to read what I can and gain insight from those afflicted, where possible.

Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional Psychologist (P7619) in Alberta, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) for the rest of Canada
Dissociation is more common than most people believe. In fact, everyone dissociates to some degree. For instance, when waiting at the doctor’s office, we often turn to our cellphone, dissociating from the wait to something more engaging. Similarly, entering the house and misplacing your keys momentarily disconnects you from what you are doing to something that is captivating your attention. Indeed, choosing not to deal with something that is uncomfortable is a form of dissociation, and this is not necessarily pathological. Trouble arises when you begin to detach from your usual self, behaving in ways that don't align with your true nature, losing time that others remember, or experiencing different aspects or parts of yourself competing for control, leading to feelings of disjointedness or a battle for dominance. Many of Daniel’s clients experience some form of this, and he is skilled in addressing it when dissociation becomes pathological.
