In this webinar, Dr. Ross will discuss the relationships between attachment conflicts, dissociation and EMDR Therapy. A core principle from his Trauma Model Therapy (TMT) is the problem of attachment to the perpetrator - this will be explained and then linked to dissociation and EMDR Therapy. Four meanings of the word ‘dissociation’ will be reviewed to clarify the discussion. Within TMT a basic function of dissociation is to protect a child’s attachment systems and solve the problem of attachment to the perpetrator. The child also develops a conflicted, ambivalent and dissociated relationship with him or herself. These dissociated elements of self can be targets within EMDR Therapy, which is fundamentally based on a trauma-dissociation model, as Dr. Ross will propose. The goal of EMDR Therapy is to integrate these dissociated elements with the Adaptive Information Processing Model.

Thanks, Dr.Ross. I'm happy that you're giving a voice to the stigmatized topic of trauma and DID. I felt like no one cared about this for so long in my life.

Well this has been amazing. Now 63 years old. Wanting to write my story. Yes, write a book. I am amazed I have made it this far and the gratitude is what compels me to write the book of hope to those dealing with everything that caused such disorders. Dissociative Identity Disorder placed me in a very empathetic approach to identity politics. My my, my we are so much more than our biological existence. However, We would not experience life without an appreciation for our biological beginnings. No animal will need to take the journey of self awareness. Only now I can say, 'It wasn't easy, but it was worth it. '

it is a disservice to call these things "disorders", especially since it deepoy affects the ifentity of the child diagnosed with such fishing labels. The truth is we are living in a dying and confused and violent civilization. The symptoms of existential harm are natural reactions to the severe violence and abuse. The doctors should have listened to Karl Jaspers and Jean Gebser and learned acategorical/aperspectival methods of labelling. "Dissociative behavior" is better than "dissociative disorder". Mental-emotional phenomena are wuasi-non-visible and tricky to understand, since so much depends on the consciousness and perception of the victim or client. Kids beckme hyper-identified with the label and it leads to more compounding feelings and identities of shame. Karl Jasoer advocated using labels in private and/or only with other professionals, as a method of streamlining client data and research. He cautioned against using these labels publically. I advocate for new ways of doing this. Psychiatry has a very dark history. Kelloggs corn flakes anyone?

Would add the sensation of feeling stupid to the list of emotional responses to being abused by someone close. A sense of being a mark - gullible, vulnerable, useless. Even knowing you’re not bad but obviously deserving of the acts because you’re so dumb as to not see it coming. Random violence is one thing. Letting someone get close enough to do it over and over again…that’s on you. So the voices say…

I’ve struggled w so much of this from depersonalizing to depression, anxious attacher, self doubt, feeling like a bad apple…..and it’s hard to understand where it comes from because I really had loving, attentive parents… I know they worked a lot and I didn’t like that but on the other hand they were present for every baseball game and holiday etc.. very supportive… yet I’ve always felt unsupported. When I was 4 I did witness the challenger space shuttle explode from my front yard in Florida and noticed feeling of doom and anxiety after that.. but despite a great deal of personal work and progress much of this shadows me still to this day

I went to Dr Ross’s trauma model therapy classes twice while inpatient at Forest View hospital in Grand Rapids. The program itself was great and life changing, but the hospital is a dumpster fire and dangerous. I wish Dr Ross would offer these classes on an outpatient basis or have his teacher there (who is wonderful) make videos of her classes so that more people would have access to this information. If the only way to get help from the trauma program is to be suicidally depressed, which is the only way to go inpatient, that might not be an optimal way or time to learn this information. It also excludes a huge population of clients who aren’t suicidal or can’t get into this hospital, who could benefit from Dr Ross’s work. In other words, I wish there were other ways of getting the help I need other than a suicide attempt…

I was bullied very badly while at my second boarding school back in the 1980’s……My parents eventually removed me from the school but It was possibly a little too late because It took me months to feel as if I was real again it was very very scary, I used to pinch myself and ask my mum if I was really alive….felt as if I was in a dream state …I was given homeopathic treatment but no therapy or counseling.

I'm not up to speed with many of the ideas touched on and could do with a better education in mental health but I found this fascinating and so very engaging. Perhaps bc I'm a mammal who's been through the odd problem but mostly because of the succinct and accessible delivery of the speaker. . As more and more kids are identified as having some sort of syndrome and so many given meds that have no.business in a young developing brain it seems like a revolutionary idea that the child's action might be a reaction to some unspoken psychodrama in the family . I still can't believe kids are getting diagnosed with mh problems that need a lifetimes worth of meds and big pharma lobbyists opinions seem to be unchallenged. The more I.learn.about dissociation and attachment the more I want to learn and understand .

I do have to say the only thing I have an issue with is EMDR in dissociative identity patients. I have DID and as soon as we started EMDR, things got worse. A lot of other dissociative patients I know experience this as well. Not to mention, a lot of systems (referring to the system of fragmented personality) don’t really want to get rid of alters or integrate; they just want to be able to function.

@Cathy-xi8cb 3 жыл бұрын

There are a few trauma therapists that know how to use EMDR with DID. I see one of them. She is working on a new book, and has some chapters in other people's books on DID and EMDR. Unless a therapist can explain, in detail, how the protocol differs, don't do EMDR if you have DID. Nobody needs to get worse. This is a huge problem. I worked hard to find an expert.

@ArtyAntics 3 жыл бұрын

I’m wondering if it didn’t work because there wasn’t enough cooperation between parts before starting EMDR. Dr Ross addressed this at the end with the last question. The reason I believe this is the case is because at the end of your comment you said, ‘they just want to be able to function’. What I think he is saying is the cooperative functioning needs to be in place before EMDR. It’s a shame that the practitioners didn’t see that so they had a bad experience.

I am interested in hearing thoughts on what happens and why/how often it happens that in a vulnerable child, the dissociation/fragmentation does NOT occur, even in extreme cases of abuse. What I mean to say, what if the child sees and accepts what is happening and works on the premise that the perpetrator is two things; a loving but flawed/violent/abusive/angry (delete as applicable!) person. Is there a person-specific indicator of the split from experiencing trauma to the step further of dissociation FROM it? Hope that question made sense!

I was addicted to cannabis for a long time. Too much is not good for you because you have to deal with people who want put you on other drugs via prescription by a doctor or psychiatry. And that is a vicious circle, with way more destructive drugs than a smoking a joint. I smoke once every week now for my epilepsy and other healing benefits that weed provides. But this is my opinion and it helps me personally..to defend myself from headinvaders, citizens with a policecap on their head all the time. I shout and raise my voice because everyone is so toxic, judgemental, misinformed and invasive. And I don't care if they put me in the fascist corner mental health category...😂

Colin Ross often talks from the perspective of a sceintist and one who actually gets met with his fair share of ridicule and mockery attacking his ideas. I think he adopts a slightly non-chalant attitude when speaking of his work and is witty because is wants the focus to be on the data and the meta of the science not so much on the victims on a personal basis
