Do You Know Someone Who Dissociates? Help those who dissociate learn to connect with themselves and others.

We have just completed two 'Coping with Dissociation' Groups (of 20 weeks) to help people live with dissociative symptoms, including alter systems/'parts'. We are now conducting a group for men who dissociate and need your help to fund this.

A dissociative disorder is a coping strategy that involves experiencing a loss of connection between thoughts, memories, feelings, surroundings, behaviour and identity. Dissociative disorders arise as a reaction to overwhelming, distressing, or painful events and help push away difficult memories. Symptoms can range from memory loss to an alter system of many disconnected identities.

This group teaches a variety of coping skills that help individuals deal with past trauma, instead of having to use dissociation.

These coping skills and strategies are crucial to trauma recovery and will enable participants to 'not just cope,’ but to actually heal.
