Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors integrates a
neurobiologically informed understanding of trauma, dissociation,
and attachment with a practical approach to treatment, all
communicated in straightforward language accessible to both client
and therapist. Readers will be exposed to a model that emphasizes
"resolution"-a transformation in the relationship to one's self,
replacing shame, self-loathing, and assumptions of guilt with
compassionate acceptance. Its unique interventions have been
adapted from a number of cutting-edge therapeutic approaches,
including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems,
mindfulness-based therapies, and clinical hypnosis. Readers will
close the pages of Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma
Survivors with a solid grasp of therapeutic approaches to traumatic
attachment, working with undiagnosed dissociative symptoms and
disorders, integrating "right brain-to-right brain" treatment
methods, and much more. Most of all, they will come away with tools
for helping clients create an internal sense of safety and
compassionate connection to even their most dis-owned selves.
The body's intelligence is largely an untapped resource in
psychotherapy, yet the story told by the "somatic narrative"--
gesture, posture, prosody, facial expressions, eye gaze, and
movement -- is arguably more significant than the story told by the
words. The language of the body communicates implicit meanings and
reveals the legacy of trauma and of early or forgotten dynamics
with attachment figures. To omit the body as a target of
therapeutic action is an unfortunate oversight that deprives
clients of a vital avenue of self-knowledge and change. Written for
therapists and clients to explore together in therapy, this book is
a practical guide to the language of the body. It begins with a
section that orients therapists and clients to the volume and how
to use it, followed by an overview of the role of the brain and the
use of mindfulness. The last three sections are organized according
to a phase approach to therapy, focusing first on developing
personal resources, particularly somatic ones; second on utilizing
a bottom-up, somatic approach to memory; and third on exploring the
impact of attachment on procedural learning, emotional biases, and
cognitive distortions. Each chapter is accompanied by a guide to
help therapists apply the chapter's teachings in clinical practice
and by worksheets to help clients integrate the material on a
personal level. The concepts, interventions, and worksheets
introduced in this book are designed as an adjunct to, and in
support of, other methods of treatment rather than as a stand-alone
treatment or manualized approach. By drawing on the therapeutic
relationship and adjusting interventions to the particular needs of
each client, thoughtful attention to what is being spoken beneath
the words through the body can heighten the intimacy of the
therapist/client journey and help change take place more easily in
the hidden recesses of the self.

Whether you are stuck in the distress of life, or appear like
nothing's wrong, you may have faced trauma or incredible stress or
suffocating fear. Maybe you wonder whether those emotions,
memories, and experiences are blocking you from being as fulfilled
and happy as you could be. Maybe you're stuck in patterns that
simply no longer work for you. What if you could change it all?
What if you could feel safe and solid and secure inside your own
body? What if your life could be peaceful and centered and
fulfilled? In Becoming Safely Embodied, Deidre Fay shares from her
35 years of psychotherapy and spiritual practice to provide a truly
practical way to integrate modern neurobiology and ancient wisdom
to finally and completely heal from emotional trauma, no matter how
deep or faint, how long ago or recent you experienced the pain.
Throughout her years as a therapist, Deirdre noticed that clients
would make progress while in a therapy session and then revert to
old patterns between sessions. What people need is a set of skills
and practices to support ongoing healing and wholeness. That's what
this book will help you with. You'll discover: What "trauma" is and
why you might have had a hard time healing from this pain, Why
shame is an attachment wound and how to harness self-compassion to
truly transform suffering, What to do when you feel like you're
easily "triggered" by a certain person or situation in your life so
that you can stay centered and safe, Instantly effective methods of
breath work for brain change and emotional regulation so that you
can calm your mind or energize your body, The nine core skills that
can help you to be more at home with your internal world and
cultivate a body that's a safe place for rest, reflection, and
wellbeing, Simple daily practices that (like brushing your teeth)
promote ongoing healing in your body, mind, and soul, And much,
much more. Whether you are healing from abandonment issues or from
pain or from grief-or whether you are helping someone else to
heal-Becoming Safely Embodied is your map and guidebook to finally
becoming at home with your internal world, cultivating a body
that's a safe place for rest, reflection, and wellbeing, and
creating the life you want to live, instead of living in the life
your history catapults you into. You may be wondering, "Is it
possible for ME? Can I change? Is it possible for me to shift these
painful patterns into a more fulfilling life? Can I truly organize
this crazy inner world?" The simple answer is, "Yes," and your
journey to becoming safely embodied begins inside the pages of this
book.
