About this listen

Dissociation 101: The go-to guide for understanding your dissociative disorder, breaking the stigma, and healing from trauma-related dissociation.

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, you’ll learn:

• What dissociation is—and why it’s 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

• There’s 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 listeners 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic Reviews

"The fresh approach we’ve needed ... that challenges the status quo of treatment and the stigma around mental health and addiction."—ANNA DAVID, best-selling author of Party Girl

"Marich’s honesty about her personal experiences combined with her professional knowledge serve to demystify and de-pathologize a common adaptive survival response and to provide readers with hope and embodied self-compassion."—JANE CLAPP, author and founder of Jungian Somatics

"[This book] approaches the topic on a human level with real-life examples, avoiding academic jargon and providing straightforward ways of looking at dissociation."—ANN GOELITZ, PhD, LCSW, author of From Trauma to Healing

Much needed in the space!

Totally recommend to those who support Systems or those getting into the space as a treater / clinician. Jamie speaks about such heavy and complex content in a way that is easy to understand whilst not taking away from the human-ness of it all.

a bit radical

as someone who has a vested interest in learning about this topic I found it very hard to keep going whilst facing an onslaught of post-modern and critical race theory associated buzzwords and constant references to spirituality and shamans and whiteness. don't get me wrong, I appreciate Eastern approaches but I felt alienated by this work and would not recommend it for these reasons
