Description
Hope and light are on the horizon to help clients overcome the challenges of healing and releasing the pain of relational trauma.
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:
-Learn how to stay calm and steady in the presence of extreme symptoms
-Discover a different approach to resolving attachment trauma
-Gain confidence when addressing shame, neglect, and dissociation
-Understand the neurobiology of PTSD and dissociation
-Integrate neuroscience-informed therapeutic interventions
-Effectively address medications and common comorbidities
-Incorporate IFS with other models of treatment
Frank Anderson writes in such an engaging style and presents the information in a thoughtful and organized way.
Very useful and helpful to the reader
I’m too tired to write a detailed review right now. Suffice it to say that this audiobook was worth my time.
This book was extremely helpful in putting IFS into tangible terms for a therapist to bring into the therapy space with clients. The diagrams were awesome for those of us who are more visual, and Dr. Andersons’s vulnerability in sharing his own stories (even the ways he feels that he’s made mistakes with his own clients) gives permission for the therapist to be human and on their own journey in addition to trying to facilitate healing for others. This is a book I will open again and again and again. Thank you!
