Mastering the subtleties of identifying and treating dissociation can make your trauma work faster and more effective
In the moment, it can be tricky to identify when a client is dissociating – especially when the signs are subtle.
And beyond that, there’s also the complex issue of knowing how to ground a dissociating client in the present and finding ways to keep treatment on track.
Because here’s the thing – some clients may not fully recognize that they dissociate (or what triggers it). Other clients might experience dissociation as protective because it separates them from their pain.
And when it’s happening, it can be challenging to help clients make progress . . .
. . . especially when self-loathing or self-sabotaging dissociative parts stall treatment.
But with tools to help clients stay present and engaged during sessions, we can help them better process their trauma.
That’s why we brought together a select few of the world’s foremost experts to share their best strategies for identifying and treating dissociation and dissociative disorders.
