Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) & More

Working with complex dissociation has been a large passion of mine. For many people, having a disjointed sense of identity and/or amnesia can lead to isolation from others. When it's hard enough to understand yourself and your emotions, managing other aspects of life can feel overwhelming. Whether this shows up as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), Other Specified Dissociative Disorder (OSDD), or as aspects of other conditions like PTSD, dissociation can be tricky to navigate day-to-day.

Disconnecting from your surroundings, and even yourself at times, is an adaptive response to overwhelming stress from a young age. However, some parts of you may feel stuck in a past experience, and responding to your surroundings in ways that might feel confusing. Some parts may feel actively harmful or lead to decisions you regret. 

For those with DID and OSDD, it can feel like your mind is disjointed and in a lot of turmoil, beyond indecisiveness or executive dysfunction. Your needs, desires, moods, and perspective may change throughout the days or weeks in confusing yet subtle ways. Complex dissociation is hard for most people, including therapists, to pick up on without an in-depth understanding of the symptoms and variety of presentations. If you've been questioning whether you have a dissociative disorder, you're in the right place. Geode Psychotherapy offers assessments for DID and OSDD to help make sense of your symptoms and finally provide understanding for your internal experience.

As a therapist that also has complex dissociation, I'm passionate about providing a supportive space for your personal goals. Whether you just want to function better, process trauma, or somewhere in between those things, I'm here for ALL parts of you as a dissociative therapist that gets it.
