EMDR Therapy and Dissociative Disorders
10/31/22 • 28 min
Dissociation is a disconnection between a person’s thoughts, sensory experience, memory, and/or sense of identity. Do we all dissociate at some point in time? What about when our dissociation level becomes extreme and impacts our ability to function or could create a distance from our sense of self? Enter EMDR therapists like Jamie Marich, Ph.D., LPCC-S, REAT, RYT-500, RMT, Founder, Mindful Ohio & The Institute for Creative Mindfulness, and EMDRIA Certified Therapist/Approved Consultant/Trainer. Find out what Jamie says about dissociation and dissociative disorders and how EMDR therapy can help.
