Etiology & Heart-Centered Treatment of Dissociative Identity Disorder and Connection to Trauma
Excerpts
“A critical awareness is that Dissociation is a powerful adaptive and self-protective response to experiences that are overwhelming and unbearable to the individual – and as such, the individual must choose how to restructure and reorient the dissociative schema to overcome symptoms and promote self-efficacy, mental ease, and life satisfaction.” — Dr. Darleen Claire Wodzenski
“Treatment begins with identification and diagnosis. Currently, many cases of Dissociation including Dissociative Fugue with loss of memory are being misdiagnosed as Psychosis, Hallucination, and Bipolar Disorder. When the proper diagnosis and therapeutic approach is identified, individuals can overcome the stigma of labels and engage in a process of healing and restoration of the autonomous self and experience mental ease, self-efficacy, and life satisfaction.“ — Dr. Darleen Claire Wodzenski
