In reply to can dissociation be treated?, posted by mmcconathy on September 9, 2004, at 12:11:01
Therapist, pharmacologist?
What you're describing sounds a lot like anxiety to me. Anxiety and dissociation frequently go together but you can have either without the other.
What you need for treatment is an experienced team behind you. A psychiatrist to prescribe meds, a therapist to work with whatever you're dealing with.
It isn't a great idea to try to treat yourself without them, or to look for concrete help on the internet. We can support you, but you need real life experienced professionals to treat you.
I think I remember your saying you have a therapist. I hope you're comfortable sharing these things with your therapist and asking him/her for a treatment plan. If you don't feel that your treatment team is capable of helping you sufficiently, you might want to look elsewhere for professionals who have experience in the area you need it.
Help is available. Treatment is available. But sometimes you have to be kind of active looking for good help and good treatment.
Do you have confidence in your therapist? Do you have a psychopharmacologist (psychiatrist)?
