Synopsis

Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors integrates a neurobiologically informed understanding of trauma, dissociation, and attachment with a practical approach to treatment, all communicated in straightforward language accessible to both client and therapist. Listeners will be exposed to a model that emphasizes "resolution"—a transformation in the relationship to one's self, replacing shame, self-loathing, and assumptions of guilt with compassionate acceptance. Its unique interventions have been adapted from a number of cutting-edge therapeutic approaches, including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness-based therapies, and clinical hypnosis. Listeners will finish the chapters of Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors with a solid grasp of therapeutic approaches to traumatic attachment, working with undiagnosed dissociative symptoms and disorders, integrating "right brain-to-right brain" treatment methods, and much more. Most of all, they will come away with tools for helping clients create an internal sense of safety and compassionate connection to even their most dis-owned selves.

Goodreads review by Reba on August 02, 2022

I have just reread this book in July 2022, two and a bit years since my first reading. Last time, I was a bit disappointed and found it pathologizing at times. However, having read many books on therapy over the last several years, I’ve come to the conclusion that I find most therapy books patholgiz......more

Goodreads review by Emily on January 22, 2021

Good, comprehensive introduction to the topic. It raised a lot of questions for me, too. I've read other books on trauma, but this was the most triggering read for me as someone who deals with these issues. If that applies to you, go slow and be gentle with yourself.......more

Goodreads review by Jenny on July 01, 2019

Should be required reading for not only health professionals but also the bureaucrats in charge of allocating funding and resources. The mainstream mental health system needs to open itself up to the groundbreaking and evidence based tsunami of information coming out showing that interpersonal traum......more
