Working with Complex Trauma Clients: Putting the Pieces Together with Janina Fisher & Frank Anderson – PESI

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.

And this 2-Day online workshop is your chance to train with two of the biggest names in the trauma field as they share the demonstrations, case studies and tips you need to bring the power of these clinical approaches into your own practice!

Watch Frank Anderson, MD, IFS Institute lead trainer and program consultant and Janina Fisher Ph.D., international trauma expert and creator of Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment as they show you how you can use these contrasting yet complementary approaches to:

• Understand complex and unstable clients as systems of fragmented parts
• Overcome roadblocks to working with extreme symptoms of trauma
• Re-interpret self-destructive behavior as the actions of protector parts
• Repair the injuries of traumatized child parts
• Bring curiosity and compassion to habitual states of hopelessness, shame and self-blame
• Heal wounds caused by repeated relational violations.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Innovative Business Model:
   • Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints. Despite potential reservations from the authors, our customers appreciate the affordability and accessibility we provide.
2. The Legal Landscape: Yes and No:
   • The legality of our operations falls into a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from the course authors for resale, there’s a technicality at play. When procuring the course, the author didn’t specify any restrictions on resale. This legal nuance presents both an opportunity for us and a boon for those seeking budget-friendly access.
3. Quality Assurance: Unveiling the Real Deal:
   • Delving into the heart of the matter – quality. Acquiring the course directly from the sale page ensures that all documents and materials are identical to those obtained through conventional means. However, our differentiator lies in going beyond personal study; we take an extra step by reselling. It’s important to note that we are not the official course providers, meaning certain premium services aren’t included in our package:
     • No coaching calls or scheduled sessions with the author.
     • No access to the author’s private Facebook group or web portal.
     • No entry to the author’s exclusive membership forum.
     • No direct email support from the author or their team.

   We operate independently, aiming to bridge the affordability gap without the additional services offered by official course channels. Your understanding of our unique approach is greatly appreciated.
