What is Depersonalization Disorder?

Depersonalization Disorder is when you feel disconnected from your body, thoughts, or surroundings. It might feel like you are watching yourself from outside your body or like you are living in a dream. This can be confusing and cause anxiety or sadness. 

When these feelings happen often, it can affect your everyday life. Treatment can help you feel more connected and in control again.

Common Dissociative Symptoms

Dissociative symptoms can feel confusing and distressing. Some common symptoms of dissociation that people may experience:

  • Feeling Detached from Your Body: You may feel like you are outside of your body, watching yourself from a distance. It can feel like you’re looking at yourself in a dream or a movie.

  • Memory Gaps: You might have trouble remembering parts of your day, events, or even your identity. These memory lapses can make you feel like you’re losing time.

  • Feeling Like Things Aren’t Real: You might experience the world as unreal or distant. Everyday things may seem strange or dream-like.

  • Emotional Numbness: You might feel like you’re disconnected from your emotions or like you’re going through life without fully feeling anything.

  • Lack of Control: It may feel like you’re watching your actions from outside yourself or like you don’t have control over what you’re doing or saying.

Depersonalization Disorder Treatment at Milton Recovery Centers

At Milton Recovery Centers, we offer both Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for individuals seeking treatment for Depersonalization Disorder. These programs provide flexible treatment options designed to meet your unique needs and help you on your recovery journey.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

PHP offers a more intensive level of care for those who require structured support during the day. With PHP, you’ll have individual and group therapy multiple times a week, as well as holistic practices like mindfulness. 

This program is ideal if you’re experiencing significant distress or have difficulty managing symptoms on your own. You’ll receive full care while being able to go home each evening, balancing support and independence.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

IOP provides flexible treatment for those who need ongoing support but are able to manage day-to-day responsibilities. With IOP, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times a week, allowing you to continue your work, school, or personal commitments while focusing on recovery. 

This program includes individual therapy, group therapy, and skill-building sessions to help you manage symptoms and feel more connected. It’s perfect for those in need of less intensive care but still seeking structured treatment for Depersonalization Disorder.

Therapies and Healing Methods at Milton

At Milton Recovery Centers, we use different kinds of therapy to help with Depersonalization Disorder:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is a talk therapy that helps you recognize and change the thoughts that contribute to depersonalization. By working through your thoughts, we can help you reframe your experiences and bring you back into the present moment.

  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): DBT focuses on teaching skills for managing emotions and tolerating distress. This can help reduce the intensity of depersonalization episodes and improve emotional regulation.

  • Trauma-Informed Care: Since depersonalization can often be linked to trauma, our trauma-informed approach ensures that your treatment plan is designed with sensitivity to your personal history and experiences.

  • Holistic Therapies: We offer complementary therapies like mindfulness, meditation, and art therapy to support your emotional and psychological healing. These practices can help you reconnect with yourself and reduce the sense of detachment.

  • Support Groups: Group therapy provides a safe space for you to connect with others who understand what you’re going through. Sharing experiences and learning from others can be an empowering part of your recovery journey.
