Dr. Bethany Brand, one of the leading researchers in the world on dissociative disorders, joins Lisa today to discuss her remarkable work in the field of trauma. Dissociative disorders were long thought to be nearly impossible to study or treat, but Dr. Brand’s research is not only debunking common myths but creating tools for therapists and patients to manage dissociation.  She tells us about her groundbreaking TOPDD (Treatment of Patients with Dissociative Disorders) Study, how it was developed, ran its extraordinary results, and what research still needs to be done. Lisa and Dr. Brand also discuss the importance of trauma-informed therapy for patients experiencing dissociation, and the need for dissociative disorders to be a more prominent part of conversations about PTSD. Join us for this fascinating, inspiring conversation.
