Dr. Janina Fisher Trauma and Shame Training Testimonials
[Training with Janina] has brought so much more compassion, understanding and skill to my work with clients around safety and shame, and has also done the same for myself. ~Susi
This course has been EXACTLY what I needed to understand one of my most difficult and refractory clients. She’s been in therapy for years and was transferred to me when her last one retired. I’ve been struggling to even get eye contact during sessions, and although I treat everyone through the lens of Polyvagal Theory, I was at a loss with this one. This course has also given me TREMENDOUS insight into my own trauma and family dynamic. It’s been mind-blowing! ~Pam
I have worked with clients who have experienced childhood sexual abuse, sexual assault, and intimate partner abuse over the past 33 years, and though I have extensive training and experience in the area of complex trauma, I still learned a lot of new material related to helping clients to relate to their feelings of triggered shame as a body memory state, rather than getting caught up in the shame thoughts. Also, regarding the shame as a survival response that was successful. This is such a non-shaming and empowering perspective. This course has also been helpful to my personal healing journey in healing body- based shame related to childhood trauma exposure and insecure attachment. ~Glenda
…Every chance to watch one of Janina’s workshops I do. Her approach is kind and respectful… helped me understand a client’s stuckness and made sense. ~Nancy
…What I appreciated most is Janina’s manner. The way I described the experience of the course was like walking into a fog of kindness and, upon walking out the other side, having a residue on my skin that would stay with me in all my sessions that follow. As with other trainers I admire, I expect to channel Janina in some small way. ~Bob
It’s been very applicable and given me a greater understanding of clients and also an approach to work with. Janina’s presence is both soothing and illuminating. She has an incredible way of combing the theoretical with clinical vignettes to teach us to be better clinicians. ~Sondra
As an IFS practitioner, this course validates a lot of the techniques that I have learned, but it has enhanced my understanding of how shame manifests and how to notice and respond to a client who is overwhelmed by a shame part. ~Laura
It has increased my knowledge base as well as my ability to use “self” as a therapist in exploring the healing process with trauma clients. Janina’s sharing of dialogue that she uses with clients is so helpful. I write all her statements down to be able to use with clients. ~Nancy
I give Janina top marks. I also so appreciate the helpful engaged way in which she responded to our questions. I have taken past courses with Janina Fisher as well and she has become my top mentor in my lengthy career. I can hardly believe our luck that she continues to work and to offer excellent new training programs. ~Glenda
For me it was a great mix of knowledge, consequences of dis-regulation and client experiences. Powerpoint presentations excellent and explanetory thanks. Mrs Fisher’s calmness and soothing voice just shows her skills and deep compassion for people. ~Lona
