🌿 Dissociation: Myths vs. Facts 🌿

Dissociation isn’t a flaw.
It’s not “weird.”
And it’s definitely not as rare as people think.

It’s your brain’s way of protecting you when things feel overwhelming — a survival response, not a defect.
But too often, people living with dissociation are misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or made to feel ashamed of their experiences.

That’s why we created this Myths vs. Facts carousel — to set the record straight and provide resources for anyone who’s ever felt “zoned out,” “checked out,” or disconnected from themselves.

💡 Inside the carousel you’ll find:

3 of the biggest myths about dissociation — and the truth behind them

Helpful resources for grounding and self-understanding

Links to get support from trained, trauma-informed therapists

📍 ABC Counseling provides affirming care for dissociation, PTSD, and DID. You deserve a space where your experiences are understood and respected.

💛 Healthy Clinicians = Healthy Clients

When the people providing care are overwhelmed, burned out, or unsupported… it shows. And not because they aren’t good at what they do — but because they’re human.

As a Clinical Director and LMFT, I’ve learned that supporting clinician mental health is one of the most powerful ways to improve client care.

That means:
✨ Keeping caseloads manageable
✨ Offering reflective, affirming supervision
✨ Providing access to confidential mental health resources for staff
✨ Creating inclusive spaces where every identity is respected and celebrated

I help organizations build these systems through custom trainings and consultations — drawing from my expertise in trauma, dissociation, queer-affirming care, and burnout prevention.

If you lead a mental health team, nonprofit, or community organization, I’d love to talk about how we can help your staff feel supported and deliver their best work.

Supervision is more than signing your hours — it’s about becoming the therapist you were meant to be.

I’m Christy Song, LMFT-S, and I offer clinical supervision for LMFT-Associates in Texas that’s collaborative, affirming, and rooted in real-world clinical expertise.

My approach is:

Specialized: Deep experience with polyamory/ENM, LGBTQ+ clients, trauma, dissociation, and kink-affirming care.

Ethical & Inclusive: Grounded in a decolonial, systemic, strengths-based lens.

Practical: We talk about what’s actually happening in your caseload — from crisis situations to client engagement to self-care.

You won’t get “just enough” to pass. You’ll get mentorship that helps you thrive — and the skills to serve your clients well for the long haul.

Currently: 5 spots available for LMFT-Associates ready to grow their skills, confidence, and career.

The personal is political — and our mental health proves it every day. 💛

Every time someone sits in my office and whispers, ‘Is it okay to feel this way?’— we’re naming something bigger than one person’s struggle.

Our rest, our grief, our burnout, our stress — none of it happens in a vacuum. It’s shaped by the world around us: the expectations, the policies, the systems that lift some up and push others down.

You can’t self-care your way out of a system that demands you run on empty.
You can’t boundary your way out of oppression.
But you *can* rest. You *can* find community. You *can* remember that caring for yourself is a radical act *and* that we need each other, too.

Your story matters. Your struggle is not just yours to carry. And your healing — that’s personal *and* political, too.

Let’s keep tending to ourselves and each other. One breath, one boundary, one radical act of rest at a time. 🌿✨
