Dissociation A Guide for Carers

Описание: Understanding Dissociation in Personality Disorders

Dissociation can be one of the most distressing and misunderstood experiences in those living with personality disorders. As a carer, you might witness your loved one suddenly becoming distant, emotionally numb, or even unaware of their surroundings, leaving you feeling helpless or confused.

This short video introduces the concept of dissociation as explained in our full course. We explore:

What dissociation actually is (and what it isn’t)

Why it happens, especially in the context of trauma and emotional overwhelm

How it affects memory, identity, and functioning

What carers can do to respond with understanding and safety

You'll also hear practical tips on how to stay grounded yourself and offer support without pushing or escalating distress.

This is just a glimpse of the full course designed to empower carers with knowledge, empathy, and boundaries.
