A warm welcome to you!
Do you suffer from feelings of unreality or alienation? Do you feel affected by depersonalisation or derealisation?
You have probably already tried many tools and strategies to deal with these unpleasant states better or to bring about a reduction. But it’s often not that easy.
My name is Simone Philipp. I work as a psychotherapist specialising in behavioural therapy in Graz, Austria. As part of my training and psychotherapeutic work, I have repeatedly come into contact with people who suffer from depersonalisation or derealisation in a wide variety of fields.
These personal encounters have made me realise that although depersonalisation and derealisation are common clinical pictures, they are unfortunately still far too unknown and unrecognised. Many sufferers spend years searching for good information and support options. However, doctors and psychotherapists who are familiar with these symptoms are still few and far between.
Methods of professional treatment as well as self-care and self-treatment that are available for depersonalisation and derealisation are also still far too little known among those affected. This was the decisive point for me to compile information, methods and approaches for the treatment of or at least better coping with depersonalisation and derealisation and make them accessible.
All this has been incorporated into the
video self-help tool ‘Better dealing with DP/DR!’
The self-help tool contains of 3 parts with 24 modules relating to the experience of alienation or unreality. The self-help tool provides you with in-depth information on the symptoms as well as tips and instructions on how to deal with them better. It is advisable to complete one module per week so that you have enough time to apply the content to your own situation and integrate it into your everyday life.
The following topics are covered in the modules:
Part I: Getting to the bottom of my own experience of unreality and alienation: Why do I have what I have?
What is DP/DR?
Symptoms of depersonalisation and derealisation
Triggers and causes for experiences of unreality and alienation
Perpetuating factors
Onset of symptoms and progression over time

Each module consists of a mixture of information, detailed instructions, and working materials such as worksheets and questionnaires which you can download to work on yourself. All instructions and working materials are also explained using specific examples of affected people so that you can visualise them even more realistically and use them more easily for yourself.
With the help of the working materials, you too will be able to transfer the content into your own life and find better ways of dealing with the disturbing phenomena of depersonalisation and derealisation.
Please allow sufficient time to work through the individual modules. About 5 hours per week should be sufficient.
