What we mean by dissociation

Depersonalisation and derealisation: feeling detached from self or surroundings, as if behind glass, foggy or unreal.
Dissociation linked to trauma: spacing out, time loss, narrowed awareness or shutdown during triggers. See Trauma and PTSD Treatment.
Dissociative amnesia features: gaps around stressful events or periods.
Parts experience: shifts in mood, viewpoint or behaviour that feel separate or hard to integrate. We work gently and at a safe pace.

Important safety note: new onset confusion, psychotic symptoms, seizures or severe self harm risk require urgent medical care. Contact local emergency services. We are not an emergency service. Where medication is involved, a physician sets the plan. We do not prescribe or alter doses.

Common signs and effects we see

During episodes: numbness or floaty sensation, tunnel vision, sounds feel distant, body feels unfamiliar, memory gaps.
After episodes: fatigue, headache, shame, irritability, and avoidance of triggers or places.
Daily life impact: missed tasks, conflict, unsafe driving risk, social withdrawal, and sleep disruption.
Typical triggers: conflict, loud environments, crowding, certain smells or locations, screens late at night, alcohol or sedatives, sleep loss and overwork.

Why one-to-one care helps

Dissociation is sensitive to overload. Group formats add noise and exposure. One-to-one care allows a calm pace, consistent attunement, and enough time to rehearse grounding skills, rebuild routines, and integrate history safely. The residence is low exposure and predictable, which helps the nervous system settle.

Assessment and mapping

Episode map: timing, body cues, triggers, duration, and recovery steps that already help.
Sleep and physiology: sleep continuity, morning readiness, appetite and movement.
Environment and devices: platform use, notification load, night scrolling, sensory load at work or travel.
Trauma and attachment history: paced exploration of past events and patterns of protection. See Attachment Wounds.
Screening tools: we may use simple self report measures to track frequency and intensity over time.
Medical coordination: physician input where dissociation overlaps with medication, fainting or seizure like events.

Stabilisation first: your grounding kit

Orientation and breath: name the room, date, colour and shape of objects, slow nasal breathing with visible exhale.
Sensory anchors: temperature shifts, textured items, paced sips of water, brief movement and light exposure.
Body based work: TRE and gentle mobility to discharge tension and increase felt safety.
Sleep and light: fixed wake time, morning light, evening buffer, device curfew. See Sleep Disorder Treatment.
Environment rules: notification hygiene, device zoning, quiet routes for travel, and meeting density caps.

Our approach

DBT informed skills: distress tolerance during spikes, emotion regulation for shame, interpersonal effectiveness for boundary setting. See DBT Therapy in Spain.
Motivational work (MET): align values with daily rules so safety practices actually happen. See MET Therapy.
Trauma paced psychotherapy: careful titration between grounding and meaning making, with clear stop rules to prevent overload.
Routine design: calendar hygiene, energy management, and simple if then plans for high risk windows.
Device and place protocols: curated feeds, travel plans, and exit scripts for noisy or crowded spaces.

Your weekly clinical dose

Psychotherapy: 7 to 10 hours one-to-one focused on stabilisation, integration and shame repair.
Skills and planning: 3 to 5 hours on grounding drills, routines, device and travel rules, and relapse prevention.
Somatic regulation: 2 to 4 hours of TRE and body based work.
Integration time: protected practice, nature exposure, and rest so change consolidates.

Two example pathways

Depersonalisation with anxiety and late screens

Week 1: grounding kit, device curfew, fixed wake time, morning light, DBT distress tolerance, TRE, first if then rules.
Week 2: graded exposure to previously avoided places, MET values work, curated feeds, aftercare calendar.
Weeks 3 to 4: stress test during work and travel, slips drill for late nights, step down to structured follow ups.

Trauma linked dissociation with sleep collapse

Week 1: safety and stabilisation, sleep window and titration, simple movement, orientation drills, physician liaison if indicated.
Week 2: trauma paced processing with strong stop rules, boundary scripts, partner alignment if helpful, aftercare plan.
Weeks 3 to 4: travel and conflict protocols, graded social exposure, relapse prevention for anniversaries, step down.

Co-occurring conditions we plan for

Anxiety and low mood: see Anxiety and Depression.
Sleep problems: see Sleep Disorder Treatment.
ADHD and overload: calendar hygiene, sensory breaks and device rules. See ADHD Treatment.
Substances and medications: alcohol, sedatives or stimulant misuse can worsen dissociation. See Alcohol and Prescription Medication Misuse.

Partner and family support

With your consent, we facilitate brief sessions to explain dissociation and agree simple support. Examples include quiet exits from crowded places, shared calendars for high risk dates, and language that helps you orient without pressure. Repair and privacy are both respected.

Relapse prevention and aftercare

You leave with a grounding kit, if then rules, sleep and device charter, travel protocol, and a 90 day calendar. Ongoing support includes Lifetime Aftercare, Aftercare Support, and Life Skills and Relapse Prevention. We can liaise with your local providers with consent.

Frequently asked questions

Is dissociation the same as psychosis

No. Dissociation involves detachment or disconnection. Psychosis involves loss of contact with reality such as hallucinations or delusions. If psychotic symptoms are present, seek urgent medical care.

Can episodes stop completely

Many clients see large reductions in frequency and intensity with grounding, sleep, and routine design. The aim is safety, shorter episodes, and a predictable plan.

How long until I feel steadier

With consistent routines and grounding, many clients feel more stable within 1 to 2 weeks. Consolidation continues over several weeks as sleep and pacing hold.

Do you use medication

Medication plans are made by a physician. We coordinate and support adherence if relevant. We do not prescribe or alter doses.

Is group work required

No. Our model is one-to-one as standard. Short partner or family sessions are offered with your consent.

Can I travel while in treatment

We recommend stabilising first. We then create travel protocols that include anchors for light, sleep, food, and device rules.
