Dissociation — the fracturing of the personality into different parts — is the easiest, and perhaps the only possible, way of doing this. 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. The key to providing effective interventions for your clients is to shift your perspective so you can I thought that the course was excellent. Janina was so kind and compassionate and just lovely in her beingness and her presentations. She is clear and so loving in the way she approaches her clients and her students. I learned so much about how to use words and presence to connect more deeply with clients and how to be welcoming and non judgemental, yet effective and connected....slowly but surely working with the legacy of trauma in us all. Dissociation is particularly essential when the abuse happens at the hands of a primary caregiver who is also responsible for providing food, shelter, and physical protection. In such a situation, the one experiencing abuse has to learn to function in a dual way, seeing the same person both as a threat and a source of essential goods.Because of this, despite your best efforts you can never treat the root of their challenges: the legacy Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors: Overcoming Internal Self-Alienation DESCRIPTION : Not a self-help book but rather aimed at mental health providers. This was recommended to me by my therapist so I could understand the concept of internal self-alienation and strategies to mitigate. The title is very gnarly, but the concepts in the book are relevant both to folks who have experienced intense / disturbing trauma as well as to folks who might be dealing with a more garden variety kind of trauma caused by an emotionally fraught childhood home life. 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. 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.

Sue Johnson, PhD, professor, researcher, and author of Love Sense: The Revolutionary New Science of Romantic Relationships Therapists feel helpless and ineffective, and clients feel more shame and hopelessness. TIST changes all that.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.” respect: says something about my inner atttitude! If I treat a homeless person without respect, this is saying something about me and my (im)maturity, not the person. If I treat them with respect, it says something about me and my attitude (replace "homeless" with any stigmatised group - people of colour, people living in poverty, women, gay people etc. etc.). If we need "tolerance", it means we have prejudices but are aware of them and have decided not to act on them. No-one would say: "I have tolerance towards people with brown/or blue eyes".... Full Book Name: Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors: Overcoming Internal Self-Alienation 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."

Fisher discusses the ways that dissociation, or alienation, manifests itself in people who have been through extended periods of trauma. She explains a biological mechanism for these symptoms, which makes sense in the light of contemporary neuroscience and the study of human and animal behavior.As the subtitle “Overcoming Internal Self-Alienation” indicates, a central theme of the book is the phenomenon of dissociation, which is found in so many survivors of trauma. Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors: Overcoming Internal Self-Alienation by Janina Fisher – eBook Details 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. 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.
