This week, Barbora Mareková continues her interview with psychologist and psychotherapist Hana Vojtová. In the first part of the interview, Hana explained how the so-called dissociative experience arises, which is the result of childhood trauma. It is a defense mechanism when children learn to disconnect from physical or even psychological stimuli. In today's episode, Hana explains how therapists help adults heal such disconnections. "In psychotraumatology, we always look at how what a person comes with can be related to what he experienced. And what are the consequences of the things he experienced and did not process now," says Hanka in the podcast. "And when we start to discover this, something like a problematic childhood or growing up begins to emerge in both complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) and dissociative identity disorder (DID) - mostly it's a dysfunctional family or abuse, neglect and sometimes sexual abuse . For people with DID, it may be that these things may even have been completely forgotten and only begin to emerge during therapy. Or they appeared before therapy, but in some unexpected way. Those memories are often stored in layers, so that the most innocent ones appear first, in quotation marks, and only gradually do we get to the really difficult experiences," he adds. Hanka talks about how the so-called dissociative identity disorder (DID), which is the most serious consequence of childhood trauma that we know today, is diagnosed and treated. It will also explain why we don't have to remember traumatic experiences from childhood, and what the process of gradually uncovering them looks like. They also talk about the so-called identification with the perpetrator - that is, why we humans have a tendency to defend the person who hurt us in childhood and take over his explanations and opinions about what happened or is happening.
