Mostly, I worked with a somatic therapist (sensorimotor psychotherapy).
It would take a book to tell you all of it (Literally. This book) but I can tell you what the core of it: learning how to experience your feelings and body sensations and then learning to consciously manage them. It rewires the brain and body to be less prone to dissociation. So any work you do, so long as it's also teaching you that will bring you back into your body. SP is just one model for it.
I'm sorry I can't really give you a play by play, there was just a lot. I'd lived severely dissociated for almost 20 years by the time I started. I had to be taught literally everything, but I was also told I was an unusual case. My therapist has never had to take someone so far back to the basics. But that also mean, if you'd like to tell me what info you are hoping for, I can probably point you in the right direction. I think we literally tried everything before it finally clicked for me.

I heard this one was good as well but haven't had the chance to read it yet. Might be worth looking into: http://www.amazon.com/Trauma-Body-Sensorimotor-Psychotherapy-Interpersonal/dp/0393704572
