Janina Fisher

Welcome Back!

Thank you for joining me for the fourth Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST) training leading to certification. This course is for those of you who have completed TIST 1 and TIST 2 and are ready to deepen your skills and complete certification.

In Level 1, you learned the foundational skills of the model. In Level 2, you deepened your understanding and became more nuanced in working with clients and traumatized parts.

Level 3 is designed to give you advanced practitioner skills, so that you can bring the TIST method to your community as a certified professional with confidence and poise. Completion of Level 3 also elevates you to the top of the TIST Therapist Directory.

This training consists of twelve hours of small group practice sessions supervised by a facilitator and twelve hours of live training with me that provide an opportunity for questions and discussion.

The practice sessions are led by experienced Senior Facilitators who have worked with the TIST method for up to 20 years. In these small groups of 6-8 people, you will have the opportunity to practice your TIST skills and receive thoughtful and supportive feedback in real time, so that you can truly master this methodology and demonstrate your abilities. Unlike other certification trainings, we donโ€™t ask you to demonstate exceptional ability but rather show that you can consistently master the fundamentals.

In these small groups of 6-8 people, you will have the opportunity to practice the concepts and receive thoughtful and supportive feedback in real time, so that you can truly master this methodology.

Here's what you'll be learning:

  • What it means to be a TIST-Certified therapist
  • Facilitating client empathy and compassion for parts
  • Foundational skills
  • How to heal the legacy of the past

As you complete this training, youโ€™ll have gained even more skills and confidence in treating any client that comes into your office. Join me for this final step to certification!

I look forward to seeing you inside the course!

Warmly,

Academy of Therapy Wisdomย
