Guided by psychologist Jamie Marich--a trauma-informed clinician living with a dissociative disorder herself--this book tells you everything you need to know about dissociation...but were too afraid to ask.
    Here, youll learn:
   What dissociation is--and why its a natural response to trauma
   How to understand and work with your parts--the unique emotional and behavioral profiles that can develop from personality fragmentation
   Theres nothing shameful about dissociating--that, in fact, we can all dissociate
   Skills and strategies for living your best, authentic, and most fulfilled life
   What to look for in a therapist: choosing a healer who sees you and gets it
   Foundational elements of healing from trauma, including PTSD and C-PTSD
    With practical guided exercises like The Dissociative Profile and Parts Mapping, this book is written for those diagnosed with dissociative disorders, clinicians and therapists who treat trauma and dissociation, and readers who are exploring whether they may have dissociative symptoms or a condition like dissociative identity disorder (DID). Dissociation Made Simple breaks it all down accessibly and comprehensively, with empowerment and support--and without stigma, judgment, or shame.
