DISSOCIATION: WHY IT HAPPENS TO US IN C-PTSD AND WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT

LINK FREE CHECKLIST: DOES MY PARENT HAVE BORDERLINE OR NARCISSISTIC TRAITS?
FREE COURE: IDENTIFYING CHILDHOOD EMOTIONAL ABUSE AND NEGLECT

https://drkimsage.thinkific.com/

Dissociation is a response to overwhelming emotion, often experienced in trauma, and in childhoods defined by Complex PTSD experiences like having a parent with BPD or similar, or other types of insecure and disorganized attachment

This video explores the roots of dissociation, how dissociation in C-PTSD functions (often within disorganized attachment systems), and how the Structural Dissociation Model explains the role of trauma types, and our traumatized child selves ---in terms of how we show up today, why and when we might dissociate, and what can be done.

In addition, DISSOCIATION as part of my HEALING SHAME IN CPTSD Journaling Series will be explored by using ❤️3 Journal Prompts ❤️specifically around dissociative responses for people with Complex Trauma --and those who want to further explore shame and dissociation, and healing.
