The Academy of Therapy Wisdom and Dr. Janina Fisher are partnering to offer an online path to certification in Janina's Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment model.
Hello,
For the last 30 years, Janina has been on a mission to help survivors of trauma. Treatment advances have helped many clients, but there still remains a significant group of trauma survivors, desperate to find relief, for whom these approaches have not worked.
Often labeled "untreatable," these individuals get diagnosed as personality disordered, suicidal, self-harming, substance-abusing, eating disordered, or dissociative. This stigmatization makes them feel outcast and misunderstood-by the mental health system in general and by their therapists in particular. For these trauma survivors, therapy becomes a crisis center whose goal is simply to ensure the client's safety.
Many clinicians feel overwhelmed by these clients. And unfortunately, traditional approaches do not provide the tools and skills needed to effectively work with this population.
The truth is these clients are very treatable.
TIST Certified practitioners are well-prepared to work with any kind of trauma, even complex and dissociative cases. Over the next nine months, you will learn directly from TIST creator Dr. Janina Fisher in three training levels, taught live online:
In TIST Level 1, you will learn the foundation of the model
In TIST Level 2, you will deepen your understanding of working with trauma, specifically complex trauma.
And finally, in TIST Level 3 you will hone advanced practitioner skills, so you feel confident and unflappable when treating even the most difficult clients.
Each level consists of six pre-recorded modules of lessons, and six live calls that provide an opportunity for questions and discussion, plus six small-group practice sessions in Level 3 supervised by a Senior Facilitator.
Requirements for TIST Certification
As you complete these trainings, you will gain more skills and confidence in treating some of the toughest cases that come into your office.
Never feel like you are totally paralyzed or being jerked around by extreme cases again. Develop fluency in the language of TIST so that you are less in your head thinking and more present with your clients.
We look forward to having you as part of the TIST community!
Warmly,
Janina Fisher, Ph.D. &

In Level 1, you will be introduced to Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST), a model that empowers trauma survivors to overcome self-destructive and addictive behaviors. This approach focuses on treating the effects of traumatic events - as opposed to treating the event itself - and on managing unsafe and addictive impulses as trauma-driven rather than manipulative and attention-seeking.
We will cover:
In TIST Level 2, we transition from the theory that was covered in Level 1 into becoming more fluent and practiced at working with trauma, particularly complex trauma. You will develop the ability to be on the same wavelength as your client's parts, allowing you to more deeply understand and communicate with them. By the end of Level 2, you will become more nuanced and have more skill in navigating interventions, even with the most difficult or resistant clients. You will be able to use the TIST model not just intellectually, but more energetically so that your clients can feel it.
We will cover:
The Level 3 training provides twelve hours of live interactive training with Janina over 2 months. In between each training session, you will be supported with six practice sessions led by an experienced Senior Facilitator. In these small dynamic practice sessions, limited to 8 people, you will have the opportunity to practice TIST principles and theory with your fellow colleagues and receive thoughtful and supportive feedback in real time. TIST3 is designed so that you can truly master this methodology.
We will cover:
"My approach to clients has shifted and I am much more confident in working with a wider range of presenting issues around complex trauma. "
- Michael S.
"The practice sessions were truly invaluable for my practice. I learned so much about my strengths and growth areas through role-playing, watching others role-play, and hearing so much thoughtful guidance from our facilitator."
- Jon L.
"Getting to talk about TIST skills with the facilitator and other practice group members in our calls helped me deepen my understanding of the skills and what it can look like to apply them with clients. The live calls and demos with Janina were thoroughly clarifying, as always."
- Jon L.
"This course has given me the tools and resources to work with complex cases and situations and is helping my clients immensely. Thank you Janina and team!
- Natajsa W.
"Personally, it shed light on my own fragmentation, which has helped me in exploring my parts and how they operate. Professionally, it's helped me better understand a little better how some of my clients' psyche operates. The compassion piece is so important and so much easier to manifest when there is also understanding."
- Ana
"I am noticing much more growth than I anticipated, as a TIST practitioner working with my actual clients. I feel noticeably more confident in my therapy practice, because I've gained a stronger and deeper understanding of the framework and what it could look like to apply the skills with clients."
- Jon L.
"Every session was done very professionally and the content was extremely valuable."
- Jennifer W.
"Janina is a treasure! Please keep working and advancing this model for a long time!"
- Pam
