Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors: Overcoming Internal Self-Alienation 1st Edition ISBN- 978-0415708234

Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors combines a practical approach to treatment with a neurobiologically based understanding of trauma, dissociation, and attachment, all presented in simple terms that are understandable to both the client and the therapist. The paradigm presented to readers will focus on “resolution”—a change in one’s relationship with oneself that substitutes compassionate acceptance for feelings of guilt, self-loathing, and shame. Numerous innovative therapeutic philosophies, such as Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness-based therapies, and clinical hypnosis, have been included into its distinctive interventions. After reading Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors, readers will have a firm understanding of numerous topics, including integrating “right brain-to-right brain” therapy methods, working with undiagnosed dissociative symptoms and disorders, and therapeutic approaches to traumatic attachment.
