Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors: Overcoming Internal Self-Alienation

Product Information

I am truly inspired by how hard therapists work and how much they put themselves on the line to help their clients. If you want to learn how to treat the clients at the highest risk, the clients most demanding to take on, or those you may have felt ill-equipped to handle, join me in learning this unique and effective method. I love the de-pathologizing of trauma symptoms through Janina's IFS-influenced approach. Being very spiritually myself, I have found myself at odds with the diagnostic/ medically influenced view of human behavior as pathological, bad or wrong. IFS and Janina's approach is such a breath of fresh air. In my younger days I was terrified of working with certain diagnosis, ie, BPD. Using this approach is so affirming and gentle, true and real that I now find working with this population easier and so much more effective.

The concepts in this book overlap/integrate with more well-known concepts such as attachment theory and mindfulness, so it is not as intimidating as the title suggests. The writing is also very friendly. Unfortunately, many people dealing with the after-effects of a traumatic childhood have summoned up the courage necessary to start a course of therapy, only to be forced to stop because confronting their repressed, or partially repressed, memories caused a breakdown or personal crisis that made it impossible to continue.

Some might think this inclines clinical practice to iatrogenic practice but NO, STOP. This is only meant to be used (as it says) with people with trauma related parts, not the general population (duh!) In this training, you will learn exactly how trauma drives survival responses that re-create the felt sense that these are still desperate times requiring desperate measures, leading to impulsive attempts to fight or flee. TIST provides an easier and more effective way of working with any clients who still suffer from these and other effects of trauma. Best of all, TIST also prevents burn-out by decreasing the stress on YOU to “save the day.” Fisher draws together neurobiological research, psychological theory, and a productive, if sometimes painful, process of trial and error in which dozens of committed therapists sought out better ways of helping survivors of trauma. Contributions of Judith Herman [Trauma and Recovery] and Bessel van der Kolk [The Body Keeps the Score] to how we view and treat traumatized individualsWow, where to even begin! This course has helped on all levels — navigating my own reactions (from my own parts) to client presentations and interactions; understanding the complex layers of fragmented and traumatized clients' internal landscapes; learning about more complex presentations involving clients' parts; more clearly understanding how to apply TIST in sessions (especially how to facilitate un-blending and internal parts work toward repair of ruptures and healing legacies of traumatic environments)." TIST is informed by concepts and techniques from sensory motor psychotherapy, IFS, and clinical hypnotherapy. The process is more gentle and requires less of clients, and the response has been extremely positive.

Fisher describes both the new, improved model for trauma therapy and the process by which it came about, which is itself a fascinating story. It would be best to work on it with a therapeut who is familiarized with this concept but unfortunately they aren't easy to find depending on where you live. Janina Fisher's unique blending of IFS 'parts' with sensorimotor and mindfulness-based therapy is a terrific enhancement to psychodynamic work. Although grounded in structural dissociation theory and trauma treatment, Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors offers insights that will enrich the knowledge-base of therapists treating higher-functioning as well as deeply traumatized individuals. I recommend this remarkable book to all psychotherapists, especially psychodynamic ones, who will discover an extraordinary opportunity to expand their clinical horizons." The human brain is a remarkable machine, refined by millions of years of evolution for survival. Perhaps its most remarkable feature is its ability to learn and adapt to different environments. One of the most extreme, but far from rare, situations that humans have to develop coping mechanisms for is abuse at the hands of a caregiver. My method focuses on treating the effects of traumatic events, as opposed to treating the event itself, and on managing unsafe and addictive impulses as trauma-driven rather than manipulative and attention-seeking. We show clients how to use mindful observation to develop a relationship with their feelings, their impulses, and their traumatized parts.For the last 30 years, I’ve been on a mission to help survivors of trauma. My approach takes the intensity out of trauma treatment and helps even the most resistant clients. No rating – this is a book written for practicing therapists, and as a curious non-professional, it didn’t seem appropriate to attach a rating. TIST is designed for very complex, difficult-to-treat clients; the ones therapists often feel overwhelmed by, and refer to other therapists. Understanding how trauma produces dissociative symptoms points to the way to the solutions. Dissociation is not the result of a damaged brain, but the result of a learning process.
