Embracing Our Fragmented Selves

Trauma fragments the self, leaving behind parts of us that carry fear, rage, shame, hopelessness, and despair. This compassionate workbook offers a clear path to understanding those parts and restoring a sense of inner harmony.

About the Book

A Workbook for Trauma Survivors & Therapists

Grounded in structural dissociation theory, parts work, and sensorimotor psychotherapy, this workbook by Dr. Janina Fisher teaches trauma survivors to understand symptoms as expressions of different parts, befriend traumatized parts, and offer reparative experiences to wounded young parts.

🔍
Understand Your Parts
Learn to recognize your symptoms as meaningful expressions of different parts of yourself — not flaws or failures, but survival strategies deserving care.
🤝
Befriend Traumatized Parts
Notice, unblend from, and build a compassionate relationship with your traumatized parts, recognizing that every wounded part deserves acceptance.
🛡️
Work with Protector Parts
Recognize self-destructive behaviors as the actions of protector parts trying to keep you safe, and offer them new ways to fulfill that role.

Healing Begins With Compassion

Every part of us, no matter how wounded or extreme, is deserving of care. Dr. Janina Fisher's approach is a reminder that healing begins when we meet those parts with support, appreciation, and acceptance.

Whether you're a trauma survivor navigating your own healing journey, or a therapist seeking a structured, ethically grounded resource for parts-based work, this workbook is an invaluable companion — accessible, humane, and deeply validating.

This book reflects more than three decades of Dr. Janina Fisher's clinical and teaching experience, encapsulating her TIST model in a way that feels coherent, respectful, and usable even when emotional capacity is limited.
