A Parts Approach for Restoring Pleasure and Vitality After Trauma with Janina Fisher, PhD

After trauma, there’s one (critical) stage of healing that can often feel elusive.
You see, even when a client has made significant progress in therapy, they often still report feeling numb, and not fully present in their own life.
That’s why interventions designed to help clients reconnect with their sense of vitality and pleasure can be crucial in the treatment of trauma.
So in the video below, Janina Fisher, PhD shares how she used a parts approach to help her client feel more alive - even joyful.

you are the trauma whisperer Dr. Fisher! Thank you, my going on with normal life part IS my intellectual part and she sat here nodding and saying, yuuuuuup! and when you talked about going directly to the intellectual part being difficult, my intellectual part said, 'no kidding! i don't do emotion, that is my job that is the point! i keep us alive, you feel emotions later when I'm not needed! I survive specifically by not processing!' a lot of my therapeutic work has been working to help my intellectual part see we are safe enough to process the trauma and it is worth processing because survival mode, as essential and heroic as it is, can't build the life we dream of, we need to make space for the emotional parts so we can live
