Autonomic arousal dysregulation
Overwhelming feelings and emotions
Images and recollections that are intrusive

The Neurobiological Legacy of Trauma and how the mind and body react to stress and danger
The Characteristics of Traumatic Memory and How the “Body Keeps Score” (van der kolk)
Trauma Based on Neurobiology Treatment to reestablish a “witnessing self” and control the nervous system by reframing symptoms and avoiding self-defeating tales
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, which involves tracking the body as a source of information and employing body-centered therapeutic methods.
Mindfulness and neuroplasticity are used in practice to distinguish thoughts and feelings and to better understand bodily sensations.
Trauma’s Difficulties Treatment as well as secondary symptoms include rage, violence, self-harm, sadness, and anxiety
Therapy as a Practice Laboratory for New Actions to Dis-identify with Symptoms and Develop a New Language and Story
Traumatic Event Somatic Resolution Rather than just re-processing, use somatic resources to treat symptoms, mend, and change traumatic events in order to generate internal safety and feel comfortable with others.

Then you’ll get to see Janina in action!

Janina will show and guide you through the use of somatic interventions in real-life client therapy sessions, moment by moment.

Working with Somatic Components to Overcome Trauma-Related Fears of Feeling Good (In-Session Video 1)
Janina’s client is eager for a relationship but is held back by her reluctance to communicate pleasant emotions. Years of talk therapy have given her awareness into this pattern as a result of early childhood trauma, but it has not been resolved. Janina and the client detect shoulder twitching whenever something pleasant is expressed during the session. Janina employs somatic therapies to ‘befriend’ the shoulder, investigate the worries it warns of, and help the client towards relaxation, assuming that the shoulder is transmitting certain ideas or fears that may be addressed via internal discussion.

Steps to Healing Traumatic Attachment and Borderline Personality Disorder (In-Session Video 2)
Janina’s client in this session is a 22-year-old mother of two with borderline personality disorder who wants to focus on stabilizing a tumultuous relationship with her children’s father and learning to regulate her fury and impulsivity. She was adopted at the age of 18 months after being removed from the care of her abusive parents, and she has always displayed classic signs of traumatic attachment: separation anxiety, fear of abandonment, rejection sensitivity, fight or flight responses to disappointment or betrayal — as well as equal difficulty tolerating distance and closeness. Healthy attachment to her children is utilized as a resource in this session to assist her in gaining awareness, developing control over impulsive conduct, and facilitating internal compassion and self-soothing.

Shame and Self-Loathing in Trauma Treatment with Janina Fisher, PhD

Is shame interfering with your traumatized clients’ capacity to recover and find comfort and perspective, despite great treatment?

Do your customers’ sentiments of worthlessness and inadequacy obstruct their ability to absorb great events, leaving them feeling hopeless?

Despite your best efforts, unbreakable sentiments of guilt and self-hatred often impede treatment: your clients regularly take two steps forward, then one step back. In this one-of-a-kind extra course, you’ll learn about shame from a neurobiological standpoint, as a survival strategy that drives physical reactions of automatic compliance and utter surrender, which are enforced by the client’s punishing introspection.

You will learn how to combine standard psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral treatments with sensorimotor therapies emphasizing posture, movement, and gesture. With these new strategies, shame may become a source of change rather than a source of stagnation.
