The Beachfront Therapist

Dissociation and Childhood Trauma Part 1

Episode 47

Today’s guest is Dr. Jessica Endres, Ph.D, and we are talking about dissociation, Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), and childhood trauma. Not only do we discuss DID, but we also look at how dissociation can show up in other diagnoses, such as ADHD, OCD, and even eating disorders. We also take an in depth look at the treatment process, assessments and questionnaires, the myths of working with this population, and how DID may not present quite in the way you think it does. This is an episode really is for every clinician, and it’s something we all need to know. Due to the topics addressed in these two episodes, please keep the potential for triggering in mind. Episode 46 is part one of a two part episode, and the second part follows in episode 47. So, get ready for two really great episodes!
