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.

Living with dissociation can feel confusing, fragmented, and isolating. Our trauma-informed, somatic, and experiential approach helps you reconnect with your body, emotions, and sense of self. Using Attachment-Focused Therapy, AEDP, and IFS, we work together to understand the origins of dissociation, process past trauma, and develop tools for grounding, emotional regulation, and self-compassion. Sessions provide a safe, supportive space to explore identity, heal attachment wounds, and build stability and integration. We offer in-person therapy in Toronto and virtual sessions across Ontario so you can access care wherever you are.
