Embracing Our Fragmented Selves: A Workbook for Trauma Survivors and Therapists

Trauma fragments the self, leaving behind parts of us that carry fear, rage, shame, hopelessness, and despair. In Embracing Our Fragmented Selves, internationally renowned trauma therapist. Dr. Janina Fisher offers a clear and compassionate approach to working with these parts and restoring a sense of inner harmony.  

Grounded in structural dissociation theory, parts work, and sensorimotor psychotherapy, this workbook teaches trauma survivors to:  

• Understand their symptoms as expressions of different parts  
• Notice, unblend from, and befriend traumatized parts   
• Recognize self-destructive behaviors as the behavior of protector parts  
• Offer reparative experiences to wounded young parts  

Whether you’re a trauma survivor or therapist, this book serves as a reminder that every part of us, no matter how wounded or extreme, is deserving of care. Healing begins when we meet those parts with support, appreciation, and acceptance.
