Dissociative Disorders
Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Dissociation is a behaviour that is automatic and can be incredibly frustrating; one can feel betrayed by their own body, frustrated by the behaviour occurring, and confused as to what triggers it or why it happens in the first place. When I work with clients with dissociation issues, it is imperative to understand why the brain would cause us to dissociate, and how we can retrain the brain to eliminate this very problematic behaviour altogether.

Dissociative Disorders
Infinite Horizons Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MCP, CCS, RP
Dissociation can feel like being disconnected from your thoughts, emotions, body, or surroundings, and is often a response to overwhelming or traumatic experiences. You might experience memory gaps, feeling “zoned out,” or a sense of not fully being present in your life. In therapy, we focus on creating safety and stability first, helping you build grounding skills and a stronger sense of control. Over time, we gently explore underlying experiences at a pace that feels manageable, supporting you in feeling more connected, integrated, and present.

Shauna Switzer, MCP, MA RP
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MCP, Registered Psychotherapist
Dissociation can develop as a response to overwhelming stress or trauma and may involve feeling disconnected from thoughts, emotions, memories, identity, or surroundings. Therapy provides a safe, trauma-informed approach to help individuals build stability, increase self-awareness, strengthen grounding skills, and support healing from difficult experiences.

Dissociative Disorders
Joan Samuel-Dennis, Ph.D
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist
Dissociation is often the mind and body’s most protective response to overwhelming trauma. It can feel like “leaving” your body, losing track of time, or feeling detached from yourself or the world around you. While these experiences may feel confusing or even frightening, they are not signs of weakness—they are evidence of how deeply your system has tried to keep you safe.
In my practice, dissociative responses are honoured as natural survival strategies that once helped you endure the unbearable. Together, we use The Becoming Method® to gently reconnect what feels fragmented: helping the body release fear, the mind regain focus, the soul reclaim identity, and the spirit return to its true and whole nature. Healing from dissociation is not about erasing these responses, but about restoring presence, connection, and the deep knowing that you are safe to inhabit your own life.

Dissociative Disorders
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.
