DISSOCIATIVE DISORDERS

Dissociative disorder therapy in Scunthorpe at Grey Matters Centre offers a safe and understanding space for people experiencing dissociation, detachment or trauma-related symptoms.Dissociation is a normal response to overwhelming trauma. 

Everyone dissociates to a normal degree, such as driving to work and not remembering the journey there. This happens when our attention is focused inwards on our thoughts, rather than the outside world. Most people experience this occasionally and it’s not a trauma response.

A trauma response occurs when we experience an event that feels overwhelming or threatening to our life. In order to protect ourselves, the mind may disengage form the body and emotions.

This can cause our thoughts, feelings and body sensations to become fragmented rather than integrated. The experience may be stored separately in the mind from every day experience and in some cases this can result in gaps in memory.

Dissociation is a coping mechanism during trauma but healing involves safely integrating these experiences over time. When dissociation becomes a long-term strategy it can interfere with recognising body sensations such as hunger, tiredness or temperature.
