Dissociation
Kimberly Zacher
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC, SAC
Dissociative disorders can involve feeling disconnected from your thoughts, memories, emotions, or even your sense of identity. You might experience memory gaps, a sense of watching yourself from the outside, or feeling like the world around you is unreal. These experiences are often rooted in trauma and can be confusing or frightening. I offer a safe, grounded space to explore and gently work through these symptoms using trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR, parts work like IFS, and somatic therapies. Together, we focus on restoring a sense of safety, integration, and connection to self.

Dissociation
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who feel disconnected from themselves in ways that can be hard to explain. Dissociation can look like going through the motions on autopilot, feeling far away or unreal, losing track of time when you’re stressed, or noticing that your emotions and body feel muted, numb, or out of sync. Some people describe it as feeling foggy, checked out, or like they’re watching their life from the outside. Many people I see function well in work or school while privately feeling detached or not fully present. You may have learned to shut down, go quiet inside, or “check out” to get through overwhelming situations, and those strategies can persist long after the original stress has passed. These patterns often develop in situations where you had to stay small, stay calm, or stay invisible to feel safe. Over time, dissociation can shape how you relate to yourself, how you make decisions, and how close you allow others to get. You may find it hard to trust your internal signals, access your emotions, or feel connected to your own preferences and needs. In our work together, we approach dissociation with respect for the ways it has protected you. We look at what your nervous system learned to do under pressure, how these patterns show up now, and what helps you feel more grounded and present without overwhelming the parts of you that have relied on distance to stay safe. The goal is not to get rid of dissociation, but to help you understand it, reduce its cost, and build a steadier connection to yourself so you can move through your life with more clarity, choice, and a deeper sense of being “here” in your own life.

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
When people experience trauma, the mind has a wonderful way of protecting us from the pain that sometimes comes at the service of disconnecting from ourselves.
