Therapy Chat
Intro
This chapter delves into the effects of developmental trauma on adults, featuring insights from an expert in the field. It also connects trauma to dissociation and various psychological challenges, while acknowledging the resilience of communities impacted by recent natural disasters.
Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week as wildfires continue to cause destruction of property and loss of life in California, I send care to the West Coast and remember our interdependence.
Today we have a replay episode featuring my highly admired colleague, Dr. Janina Fisher. We originally spoke in 2022 - you'll hear Janina discuss the relationship between complex trauma and the Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis, as well as how her training method, Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST) can heal attachment and trauma wounds. Whether or not you're a therapist, you won't want to miss this important and interesting discussion!
Janina Fisher, Ph.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist and a former instructor, Harvard Medical School. An international expert on the treatment of trauma, she is an Advisory Board member of the Trauma Research Foundation. Dr. Fisher is the author of 'Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors: Overcoming Self-Alienation' (2017), 'Transforming the Living Legacy of Trauma: a Workbook for Survivors and Therapists' (2021), and 'The Living Legacy Instructional Flip Chart' (2022). She is best known for her work on integrating mindfulness-based and somatic interventions into trauma treatment.
