Understanding and Working With Dissociation

(Part 1) Recognition & Safety

Recognizing Dissociation in Clinical Practice and Avoiding Harm

This training focuses on:

• Subtle and often missed presentations of dissociation

• Differentiating dissociation from anxiety, avoidance, or resistance

• Common clinical errors that increase destabilization

• Emotional self-harm and dissociative coping strategies

• The appropriate and inappropriate use of screening tools such as the DES-II

• Basic grounding strategies as harm-reduction tools

• Supporting safety without engaging in parts work or trauma processing

Designed for therapists who work with trauma but have not been taught enough about working effectively with dissociation beyond the most basic understanding.  This is for clinicians who want a foundational, stabilization-focused understanding of dissociation.

(Part 2) Structure & Stabilization

Working With Dissociative Systems in Clinical Practice

This training focuses on:

• Structural dissociation and ego state organization

• Common types of ego states clinicians encounter in dissociative systems

• Avoiding “good parts vs bad parts” frameworks

• Permission and consent as core stabilization interventions

• Negotiating internal conflicts without reinforcing fragmentation

• Orienting ego states to the present and to one another

• Supporting coordination and cooperation across the system

Designed for clinicians who already recognize dissociation and want guidance on what to do next. If you are a clinician who finds themself wondering "I think my client might have a dissociative disorder... what do I do next?" this training is right for you.
