Help for Dissociation in New Mexico – Online Trauma Therapy
Understanding Dissociation & Feeling “Not Like Yourself”
Many people across New Mexico experience dissociation without knowing what to call it. You may feel disconnected from your body, numb, unreal, foggy, or like you’re watching your life from the outside. Dissociation is often a normal response to overwhelming stress or trauma — not a sign that something is wrong with you. Through online therapy, we help clients throughout the state understand these symptoms with compassion and without fear.
Common Signs of Dissociation
Dissociation can show up in many ways, including:
• Feeling “far away” or numb
• Losing time or forgetting parts of the day
• Feeling unreal or disconnected from your surroundings
• Difficulty staying present during conversations
• Emotional shutdown or “going blank”
• Feeling like different parts of you want different things
• Feeling like you’re watching yourself from outside your body
These experiences can stem from trauma, chronic stress, burnout, childhood experiences, or nervous system overload. You are not alone — and support is available.
Therapy Approaches That Help With Dissociation
We offer trauma-informed therapy designed for people who experience dissociation. Our approach includes:
• EMDR adapted for dissociative symptoms
• Parts-aware and stabilization-first trauma work
• Grounding and nervous system regulation techniques
• Slow-paced reprocessing for complex trauma
• Gentle exploration of emotional “parts” or internal experiences
• Support for depersonalization, derealization, and dissociative coping
Our goal is never to “push” you — but to help you feel safe, present, and supported.

We serve clients across the entire state, including rural communities where dissociation-informed care is difficult to find. Clients frequently meet with us from:
• Roswell

Our clients often include:

• People experiencing dissociation or “shutting down”
