We are proud to partner with Janina Fisher, renowned therapist, author, and teacher with more than 40 years as a leader in the trauma therapy space. Her Therapy Wisdom online course for therapists Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors is one of our most attended offerings.
We recommend every therapist watch her free webinar training Trauma-informed Stabilization Technique (TIST) as a way to support clients who have experienced trauma, especially those who live with complex trauma response. Reading Janina’s bestselling book Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors: Overcoming Internal Self-Alienation is a great way to familiarize yourself with the method, and with a new way to work with trauma.
This groundbreaking book by Janina Fisher Ph.D. 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.
Readers 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.
Readers will close the pages 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.

Praise for Janina’s Book, Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors: Overcoming Internal Self-Alienation
“This beautifully written, sensitive volume on how to treat the clients that many deem hopeless is a must read for those working with trauma. It will take you to new places and enable you to reach for your clients and find them when they cannot find themselves. Enjoy!”
— Sue Johnson, PhD, professor, researcher, and author of Love Sense: The Revolutionary New Science of Romantic Relationships
“The role of cumulative trauma in the fragmentation of self-experience, the strategies for identifying, together with the client, the non-integrated parts of the personality during the clinical exchanges, and the integrating power of the psychotherapy dialogue have rarely been dealt with in such a convincing and original way as in the pages of this fascinating book.”
— Giovanni Liotti, MD, APC School of Psychotherapy, Rome, Italy
“Janina Fisher’s unique blending of IFS ‘parts’ with sensorimotor and mindfulness-based therapy is a terrific enhancement to psychodynamic work. Although grounded in structural dissociation theory and trauma treatment, Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors offers insights that will enrich the knowledge-base of therapists treating higher-functioning as well as deeply traumatized individuals. I recommend this remarkable book to all psychotherapists, especially psychodynamic ones, who will discover an extraordinary opportunity to expand their clinical horizons.”
— Kenneth A. Frank, PhD, Psychotherapy Integration Training Program, National Institute for Psychotherapies
