In this week's episode, host Laura Reagan, LCSW-C, a trauma therapist, consultant and coach, gives a thumbnail sketch of the complicated topic of Dissociation. In this episode you will hear: 

• What Dissociation is 
• That Dissociation occurs on a spectrum from being preoccupied to having a totally different identity with its own name, behaviors, manner of dress - and you don't know it, and many examples in between 
• Laura gives real life examples of how Dissociation can show up in our lives
