Description

Dissociation 101: The go-to guide for understanding your dissociative disorder, breaking the stigma, and healing from trauma-related dissociation.

"Just as important as The Body Keeps the Score (but an easier read for me)."
—5-star reader review

Guided by clinical counselor Jamie Marich—a trauma-informed clinician living with a dissociative disorder herself—this book tells you everything you need to know about dissociation...but were too afraid to ask.
    Here, you’ll learn:

• What dissociation is—and why it’s a natural response to trauma

• How to understand and work with your “parts”—the unique emotional and behavioral profiles that can develop from personality fragmentation

• There’s nothing shameful about dissociating—that, in fact, we can all dissociate

• Skills and strategies for living your best, authentic, and most fulfilled life

• What to look for in a therapist: choosing a healer who sees you and gets it

• Foundational elements of healing from trauma, including PTSD and C-PTSD
