ForwardAgainst the Grain: Shifting the Societal Denial of Dissociation (2023 Annual Conference)
This conference recognizes that dissociation at the individual level reflects dissociation at the collective level. Dissociative capacities and processes are marshalled by children confronted with realities that the adults around them are unable to acknowledge and address. Trauma, abuse and neglect map closely onto inequalities of gender, race, poverty, migration and other factors that are too often invisible or tacitly accepted in political discussion.
Dissociation itself is dissociated: denied, disbelieved, or just left unspoken. This conference reflects our long-standing commitment to breaking this silence by sharing research and clinical insights from leading figures in our field. It’s also an opportunity to reconnect with old friends and colleagues, make new ones and build connections that can hold the difficult truths disclosed by people with dissociative conditions.
This conference presents an exciting mix of clinical expertise and tools, cutting- edge scientific findings, conceptual and theoretical developments, as well as the opportunity to participate in mindfulness, creative arts and self-care strategies.
