About Dissociative Identity Disorder & Trauma-Related Dissociation Training for Therapists**
Therapists can often feel overwhelmed when working with clients who present with dissociative experiences stemming from complex trauma.
Dissociation is, at its core, an adaptive survival mechanism—a means of psychologically escaping overwhelming threats. Yet, its consequences are profound. Dissociation fractures the connection between mind and body, disrupting the integration of memory, emotion, and lived experience. Clients may present with a range of confusing and distressing symptoms, including:
- Amnesia and memory gaps
- Trance-like states or slowed responses
- Sudden shifts in mood or identity
- Sensory intrusions such as auditory or visual hallucinations
- Feelings of numbness, emptiness, or internal deadness
This fragmentation can severely impair a client’s ability to construct a coherent narrative of their trauma, leaving them disconnected not only from their experiences but also from their capacity to relate to others—even in therapy.
nscience offers a range of in-depth courses tailored for psychotherapists, psychologists, and counsellors seeking to enhance their work with dissociation. Our training emphasises accurate assessment, case formulation, and practical therapeutic interventions designed to stabilise clients before deeper trauma processing begins.
Topics covered include:
- Understanding dissociation and its link to childhood abuse and complex trauma
- Differentiating dissociation from psychosis or schizophrenia
- Exploring the role of dissociation in PTSD, complex PTSD (C-PTSD), and developmental trauma disorder (DTD)
- Addressing the lived impact of dissociation on clients’ everyday functioning
Our courses are facilitated by world-class trainers and combine theoretical input with case vignettes, experiential exercises, and practical demonstrations. Whether through live workshops, on-demand videos, or interactive seminars, nscience equips therapists with the clinical confidence and skill to support clients navigating dissociation and fragmented self-states.
