Overcoming Dissociation Through Mind-Body Therapies

While dissociation can protect you during a traumatic event, it can become problematic if it continues in everyday life (out of habit). Mind-body psychotherapies like somatic and mindfulness practices can help you reconnect with your inner experience and feel more grounded in the present moment. EMDR can help you process traumatic memories and adverse experiences, making them less overwhelming and allowing you to stay more present. IFS can facilitate communication and harmony between different parts of yourself, reducing internal conflict and promoting a sense of integration. This helps you feel more connected to yourself and fosters internal balance.
