A fantastic read… in Healing The Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors, symptoms of trauma are explored as expressions of our traumatized “parts”. Janina Fisher, PhD, sheds light on the importance of becoming familiar with these different parts of ourselves and speaking with them compassionately. Building insight and befriending our parts in this way allows us to regain our functioning self while loosening the grip of automatic trauma responses (anger, self-loathing, shame, numbness, depression) that hijacks us when triggered. I highly recommend this to therapists who are looking to deepen their understanding and practice of treating trauma.
