Therapy for Dissociation

Dissociation can feel like you are watching life from a distance. You may know what is happening, but feel cut off from your body, emotions, memories, or surroundings.

Moffat approaches dissociation as a protective response. The question is not what is wrong with you, but what became too much for your system to stay fully present with.

How this can show up

• Feeling unreal, detached, foggy, or outside your body
• Losing time or struggling to remember parts of stressful moments
• Feeling numb when you expected to feel upset
• Functioning on autopilot through work, family, or social life
• Disconnecting during conflict, intimacy, grief, or pressure

What counselling with Moffat can focus on

Sessions can help you identify triggers and build grounding skills before going into deeper material. Moffat can support you to reconnect with your body and feelings at a pace that does not overwhelm you.

Starting sessions

You do not have to force yourself to feel everything at once. Feeling safe enough to stay present is part of the work.
