The path to breaking dissociation

No two person’s healing looks the same. I cannot say this enough. There is no one technique or process that I teach that fixes a certain imbalance in everyone. No - just do X and Y will be sorted. There are similarities to be sure in many people’s healing, but we are all unique humans with our own histories and different systems and so those need to be addressed specifically and individually. The absolute key to this process is the individualised approach.

I can show techniques on here relating to calming your nervous system to break the dissociative tendencies but for some people that will not be enough, and their path, their individual requirement, will mean that they have to consciously recognise the reasons that led them to dissociate in the first place. The work I do in the 1:1 sessions covers this and by tackling the memories relating to what started the need to dissociate, it also breaks the tendency to do so.

Similarly there are two ways to tackle having poor boundaries, which is something that comes up a lot in my sessions. One is in addressing those boundaries on a conscious level in the everyday- being mindful of protecting them and asserting them, physically, verbally, emotionally; strengthening them with our everyday actions and speech. But the other is also in doing the work that is covered by the Emotional Aspect - releasing the Stored Emotional Element that is relating to them having been transgressed in the first place. The weakened boundaries, just like the tendency to dissociate, heal in doing the emotional work, and the tendencies to dissociate/ not be able to assert your boundaries naturally begin to subside.
