Dissociation
I’m working with a client who has a history of complex trauma and dissociation. We’ve done some resourcing and preparation, but when we begin Phase 4 processing, she quickly becomes overwhelmed and dissociates. I’ve tried using the ‘back of the head scale’ and grounding techniques, but she still seems to bypass the target and shuts down.
Has anyone had success with alternative strategies for keeping clients within the window of tolerance during processing? Would you recommend using a modified protocol like the fractionated approach or something like G-TEP to start? Open to suggestions!
Let me know if you’d like variations specific to certain populations (e.g., children, veterans) or clinical concerns (e.g., attachment trauma, phobias).
