Dissociation is the mind's way of getting distance from overwhelming experience. It can look like feeling detached from yourself or the world, losing time, memory gaps, or shifting parts of self. It often develops in response to trauma, especially early trauma.
Therapy for dissociation is gentle and paced. We build safety and grounding first, help parts of you feel understood, and work on trauma only when you are ready. Our clinicians respect the way your system has protected you and follow your lead.
Common questions
What is the difference between dissociation and DID?
Dissociation is a common experience on a spectrum, from everyday zoning out to more severe detachment. Dissociative identity disorder is a specific condition involving distinct identity states and significant memory gaps, and it typically develops from severe early trauma.
Is therapy for dissociation safe?
Approached carefully, yes. Good treatment focuses first on stability and grounding, and moves into deeper work gradually so you are not overwhelmed.
