Embracing Our Fragmented Selves---New Workbook By Janina Fisher

[HannahOne]

Fisher's new workbook is the most accessible way I've found to understand the TIST model and work with yourself to have more clarity, calm, and connection. Highly recommend if you recognize yourself having fight/flight/freeze/fawn reactions that you can't manage, if you've tried various models but no therapy is working for you, if you don't have memories or just can't talk about it, or if you are having difficulties in relationships despite applying your best skills. If part of you feels like you just want to quit and another part of you is determined to heal, check out this model.

Fisher has been in the field for thirty years and build TIST from the ground up working with survivors in a psychiatric institution, using the best of Sensorimotor Therapy, the new neurobiology of trauma, IFS and structural dissociation theory.

"Trauma fragments the self, leaving behind parts of us that carry fear, rage, shame, hopelessness, and despair. In Embracing Our Fragmented Selves, internationally renowned trauma therapist Dr. Janina Fisher offers a clear and compassionate approach to working with these parts and restoring a sense of inner harmony.

Grounded in structural dissociation theory, parts work, and sensorimotor psychotherapy, this workbook teaches trauma survivors to:

Understand their symptoms as expressions of different parts
Notice, unblend from, and befriend traumatized parts
Recognize self-destructive behaviors as the behavior of protector parts
Offer reparative experiences to wounded young parts

Whether you're a trauma survivor or therapist, this book serves as a reminder that every part of us, no matter how wounded or extreme, is deserving of care. Healing begins when we meet those parts with support, appreciation, and acceptance."
