Given the perceived discrepancies between clients' and clinicians' understandings of dissociation, clinicians should engage in discussions with their clients about their dissociation-related lived experiences with awareness that they may have been misunderstood by previous providers. Client-clinician discrepancies should be addressed, as failure to do so could lead to misunderstandings and ruptures in the therapeutic relationship.
