Dissociative amnesia can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, with gaps in your memory that seem difficult to explain. It’s a response to overwhelming stress or trauma, and it can cause confusion, fear, and a sense of losing control. If you’ve been struggling with memory loss related to past events or personal identity, you might feel uncertain about how to move forward.
At Florida Atlantic Coast Treatment Solutions (FACTS), we understand the emotional weight of dissociative amnesia and are here to help guide you through the recovery process. Our compassionate approach is designed to support you as you work through the complexities of dissociative amnesia. With the right care and support, it’s possible to reconnect with yourself.
Dissociative amnesia is a condition where a person experiences memory loss that is often triggered by trauma or extreme stress. It can cause gaps in memory, making it hard for individuals to recall important personal information, relationships, or life events. This memory loss can vary in severity, from forgetting specific incidents to losing entire periods of life history.
Rather than a simple inability to remember, dissociative amnesia is an emotional response to trauma, allowing the mind to cope with overwhelming events. It’s important to note that the memory loss associated with dissociative amnesia is not caused by physical injury or substances, but is a psychological defense mechanism.
The symptoms of dissociative amnesia can often go unnoticed, as they may not be immediately obvious to those experiencing them. The signs can vary, but they generally involve gaps in memory or an inability to recall significant details about one’s life. Some of the most common symptoms for the 1.8% of American adults with dissociative amnesia are:
Recognizing these signs early on can help individuals seek the right support and take steps toward healing. At FACTS, we provide a safe space for individuals to explore and work through these symptoms with the guidance of compassionate professionals.

DBT supports emotional regulation and mindfulness, which are particularly helpful for managing the intense feelings and stress that can come with dissociative amnesia.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
