Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors: Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST)
VIEW OUR UPCOMING EVENT FLYERS:
Presenter: Dr. Janina Fisher, Ph.D.
Description
Self-rejection is a survival strategy that maintains children’s attachment to abusive attachment figures by disowning themselves as “bad” or “unlovable.” This deeply painful failure of self-acceptance is adaptive in an unsafe world but results in lifelong shame and self-loathing, difficulty self-soothing, identity confusion, and complications in relationships with others.
As clients learn to relate to their overwhelming emotions and impulsive behavior as signs of these rejected traumatized parts, they develop an increased ability to observe rather than react to distressing affects and/or act out associated impulses. Using strategies inspired by Polyvagal Theory and Internal Family Systems, therapists can help clients access the therapeutic power of mindful relationships to their most deeply disowned selves.
In this training you will learn to:
- Describe the relationship between trauma and self-alienation or self-rejection
- Describe the Structural Dissociation theory as an explanatory model
- Recognize signs and symptoms of trauma-related states and parts
- Identify parts that sabotage self-compassion and self-acceptance
- Describe interventions that increase a felt sense of self-compassionate connection
