About this listen

I have been in both chairs in the psychotherapy room, and I have learned the value of good therapy, and I have learned the value of bad therapy. Not only have I learned the value of therapy, but I have also learned a lot of lessons in both chairs. Today, I occupy the psychotherapist chair and sometimes the client chair, and I continue to learn lessons that both surprise me and teach me that a graduate degree does not guarantee expertise or even basic knowledge about mental health in today's world. I want to share some of the things that I have learned from both chairs that have set the course of my journey both as a therapist and a human being. These are the lessons learned by an OG WooWoo Therapist during 28 years in the therapist chair.

    Dissociation and Dissociative Disorders

    Today I am going to talk about dissociation and give a brief overview of dissociative disorders.

    This is not intended to take the place of counseling or therapy but to highlight some of the issues that could or need to be addressed with a licensed counselor or therapist. And for some, it will be educational information to increase understanding of therapeutic issues. None of the information that I am going to talk about should be used to self-diagnose or diagnose others with mental health disorders. Only a licensed practitioner can do that through the process of differential diagnosis.
