Working with Complex Trauma Clients: Putting the Pieces Together with Janina Fisher, PhD and Frank Anderson, MD
Successful treatment of complex trauma requires being able to work with all parts of your clients—the parts that clients identify with as “me” and the disowned parts they have despised, disowned or dissociated.
Without giving voice to all parts and resolving the conflicts between them, your treatment efforts can fall short, leaving clients to continue their daily struggle with suicidality, self-harm, addiction and other self-destructive behaviors.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST) are two of the most effective evidence-based tools available to clinicians today for safely and effectively working with clients’ trauma-related parts.

Regardless of how it might seem, clients aren’t really at war with their therapists; they’re caught up in a trauma-related internal battle, asking themselves questions about whether to trust or not trust, live or die, and love or hate.

Objectives
Help your clients make sense of their most puzzling and shameful trauma symptoms with the innovative use of simple diagrams and explanations found in The Living Legacy of Trauma Flip Chart.
Traumatized individuals often have trouble processing words and information, but visual images draw their attention, allow them to better understand their symptoms or struggles, and help them to engage more easily in treatment. Created by Janina Fisher, PhD, this flip chart makes psychoeducation a relational experience in which the client can feel understood and supported. It presents scientific information in an accessible, easy-to-understand manner that builds trust, even in the early stages of therapy, and allows trauma survivors to feel more empowered rather than victimized by their symptoms. Your clients will thank you for using it!

The highly acclaimed Transcending Trauma explores a unique, compassionate, and evidence-based approach to resolving complex and dissociative trauma. In this transformative book Frank Anderson, MD, masterfully details an IFS path to therapy that allows clients to access their inherent capacity for healing – called Self-energy – while also helping them welcome, as opposed to manage, the extreme emotions frequently associated with trauma.
Included are clinical case examples, summary charts, current neuroscience research, and personal stories that will enable your clients to reclaim self-connection, experience self-love, and regain the ability to connect with and love others. Designed with clinicians in mind, this book offers a comprehensive map to complex trauma treatment that will enable readers to:
