How to Overcome Dissociation

Single Class with Insights from Dr. Melody Goddard (Psychologist, PhD, MA, MFT)

It’s common for people who’ve experienced narcissistic abuse to experience dissociation.

This means disconnecting from one’s thoughts, feelings, memories, or sense of identity. 

Some common signs you might have if you’re experiencing this are:

  • You feel as though you are living in a dream or that the world around you is not real.
  • You feel emotionally numb or disconnected from your emotions. You have trouble feeling joy, sadness, or anger, even when these emotions are typically expected.
  • You feel as though you are observing yourself from outside your own body.
  • You struggle with knowing who you are, feeling as if you have multiple identities, or experience significant shifts in your sense of self and personality.

If you can relate to those signs, this single class could be for you.
