Healing the Fragmented Self of Trauma with Dr. Janina Fisher

To overcome this alienation from self, the Fragmented Selves approach (Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment or TIST) focuses on cultivating mindful awareness of patients’ disowned selves and disowned experiences. As individuals learn to relate to their overwhelming emotions and impulsive behavior as evidence of trauma-related self-states, they develop an increased ability to observe rather than react and to tolerate distressing effects rather than acting out.  Using strategies inspired by polyvagal theory, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Internal Family Systems, we will explore the therapeutic power of fostering earned secure attachment relationships to our patients’ most deeply disowned selves.
