It's an interesting discussion to get into with people who have had to be so protective in themselves in order to survive life.
Ever wondered if dissociation is always a bad thing? Veronica Valli sits down with Dr. Jamie Marich, an expert in EMDR therapy, to break down this complex topic. Dr. Marich explains that dissociation, often seen as negative, can actually be a useful coping mechanism for many. However, it's important to recognize when it starts to interfere with daily life. The conversation doesn't stop there. They dive into alternative healing practices and the significance of cultural sensitivity in mental health.
From indigenous parenting techniques to the therapeutic use of sweat lodges for veterans with PTSD, Dr. Marich brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. She also touches on the often misunderstood dissociative identity disorder and the critical role therapists play in helping clients navigate these waters. This episode challenges the stigma surrounding dissociation and mental health, urging listeners to adopt a more holistic and culturally aware perspective.
If you're curious about how different cultures approach mental health or want to understand dissociation better, this episode is a must-listen.
