Working with Dissociation and Self-States

Our Self isn’t just a whole. Rather, we have many parts of self that have different roles and functions. Our Self is the one who is designed to lead the whole, but that doesn’t always happen.

In dissociation, the Self becomes overwhelmed, may collapse, or even seem to disappear. Dissociation can be common in traumatic experiences, during as well as after. However, it can show up in other ways for other reasons as well.

What exactly is dissociation? Why does it occur? What part of self is present when dissociation is occurring? What do you do when a client dissociates?
