Claire talks with guest Joh Knyn from Guided Healing Psychology, unpacking what dissociation really is, why it’s so often misunderstood (even by therapists), and how dissociative disorders are frequently misdiagnosed—or missed entirely.

Whether you're a therapist, student, or just curious, this episode helps bring clarity to a complex topic.
