Managing Trauma Energies: The Key to Effective Healing

What is the significance of 'Holding Your Own Energy' in trauma recovery?

Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) recovery is a multifaceted process that involves various therapeutic approaches aimed at healing deep-seated trauma. One innovative method that has gained attention is Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Parts Work, which emphasizes the importance of unburdening internal parts to differentiate between trauma energies and one's True Self. Tanner, through years of training and personal experience, advocates for the transformative power of IFS in managing and transforming these energies. She highlights the necessity of a precise understanding and theory of change, which is encapsulated in the CPTSD Medicine Healing Protocol—a structured framework that prioritizes practicality and love. Despite acknowledging the current limitations of technology in addressing complex trauma, Tanner remains optimistic about future advancements, underscoring a pragmatic yet heart-centered approach to CPTSD recovery.
