Healing Fragmented Personalities Who Have Experienced Trauma. Overcoming Internal Alienation

The book combines a neurobiological perspective on trauma, dissociation, and attachment with a practical approach to treatment. All of this is presented in simple language, understandable to both the therapist and the patient. Readers will learn about a model that places special emphasis on "resolving" the situation — transforming the relationship with oneself, replacing shame, self-hatred, and presumption of guilt with compassion and acceptance. Its unique interventions have been adapted from a number of advanced therapeutic approaches, including sensorimotor psychotherapy, internal family systems, mindfulness-based therapy, and clinical hypnosis. Readers will close the book with a comprehensive understanding of therapeutic approaches to traumatic attachment, working with undiagnosed dissociative symptoms and disorders, integrating the "right brain to right brain" therapy method, and much more. Most importantly — they will learn to cultivate in the client an internal sense of safety and compassion even towards their most rejected fragments of personality.
