Janina Fisher and I have long followed parallel paths promoting greater attention to stabilization in trauma therapy. Here she furthers her careful, educational, common sense, and resource-rich approach, filling a much-neglected niche in the trauma self-help literature. Fisher successfully balances illuminating commonalities of post-traumatic conditions while encouraging readers to select, portion, and pace individualized healing paths.

Warm and welcoming, Janina Fisher invites therapists and clients alike to compassionately understand the lingering symptoms related to traumatic events. Fisher’s emphasis on ‘acknowledging the past while staying connected to the present’ is a profound path forward that helps us to reengage in the world and reclaim our aliveness.”

—Arielle Schwartz, PhD, author of The Complex PTSD Workbook and The Post Traumatic Growth Guidebook

Traditional therapy aims to heal trauma by urging the client to share their experiences with a safe validating witness.

But clients revealed that telling the story often engulfed them in overwhelming sensory or emotional responses that felt re-traumatizing rather than healing.

The reality is successful treatment is NOT about dealing with traumatic memories. It’s about helping the client recover from the enduring effects of trauma.

This “living legacy” of trauma shows up as intense physical, perceptual, and emotional reactions to everyday things. Reactivated by seemingly harmless reminders of the original situation their body tenses up, their heart pounds...

They see horrifying images... Experience sudden fear, pain, or rage. They may startle as if facing Godzilla, even in the safety of their own homes...or your office.

These unconscious reactions can make the client feel “crazy,” leading to a long list of symptoms including self-destructive impulses, substance abuse, disconnection, anxiety, depression, and more.

Dr. Janina Fisher saw the troubles with this “storytelling” approach from the start of her career. She knew there had to be a better way. So, she’s devoted her 40-year career to transforming trauma treatment from continued suffering to a positive, informed process.

When you register for this all-new training, you’ll discover the results of her research and experience, and her unique methods for helping clients defeat traumatic symptoms... And finally feel present, hopeful, and in control of their body and mind.
