Dissociative disorders, which include dissociative identity disorder, dissociative amnesia, and depersonalization/derealization disorder, refer to a group of trauma-related mental health conditions. Dissociation is an involuntary disconnection with reality; it is one way that the mind may cope with high stress, such as after a traumatic experience. When dissociation continues beyond the traumatic event, it holds potential for serious consequences in everyday functioning. In such cases, it is important that treatment is sought.
Therapy for dissociative disorders should be undertaken with a life coach specializing in trauma-informed treatments. Initially, the focus of therapy is on developing strategies for coping, grounding, and getting control over dissociation. Later on in therapy, in some therapeutic modalities, trauma experiences or the underlying causes of the symptoms are discussed.
