Publisher's summary

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.

Great Book for understanding your trauma

already helping me to calm down my triggered parts & helped me understand that I do have a normal functioning life self & that I don't need to be hijacked by my triggered parts

A must read!

This is easily top 5 of my favorite books on trauma/dissociation treatment. Get it!

Very helpful

This was very informative and thought provoking. The author and narrator did a great job! I highly recommend this book.

Parts approved!

I am a counseling graduate student and I have DID. All of my Parts feel uplifted, seen, and guided by this book. We will definitely attend the authors trainings — this is the model I want to use for my own practice. Highly recommend.

Excellent book

It was very enriching to read this book. It gave me a broader view as a psychologist and helped me understand my appearant contradictions. Thank you

Very helpful

As a spouse of a dissociated individual this book provided clear understanding of my wife’s daily trials.

Must read for anyone who has trauma

This book is incredible. I’m so grateful for this work. Answered so many questions. Whether you’re a clinician or a patient this book is worth your time.

Hope

This material has attached me to a community of cptsd survivors with shared symptoms that I didn’t know existed. I feel, so less alone. And with the evidence based research and duration of her work, I have significant hope in applying her counsel personally. It’s already been a help.

Very informative!

This book was very helpful and covered so many collaborative subjects. It will be used in my practice over and over.

Excellent depiction of parts-work. I loved it.

Easy to follow, and such a wonderful depiction of what often feels so complex and overwhelming. As a clinician who has experienced sensorimotor therapy as a client, I greatly appreciated how the book tied together my experience in both roles, and reinforced my clinical work as a trauma specialist while also helping me feel so proud of my personal growth and the way I take care of myself. I highly recommend this book as a gateway to working with trauma. It’s a very important paradigm to consider in addition to some of the heavier hitting modalities like EMDR.
