We often think of trauma as something that happened in the past—but for many people, it lives on in their bodies, beliefs, and behaviors every day.
In this rare collaboration, two of the most respected voices in trauma therapy—Dr. Janina Fisher and Dr. Frank Anderson—come together to offer a new perspective on trauma healing: one that doesn’t just revisit the story, but transforms how it’s held.
Through the combined lenses of neuroscience, somatic awareness, and parts work, this workshop will guide you in recognizing the living legacy of trauma and the survival strategies that have developed in response to it. Together, Frank and Janina will offer practical, integrative tools to help clients relate to these adaptations with compassion and curiosity, rather than shame or avoidance.
You’ll learn how to:
Reframe trauma-related behaviors as intelligent adaptations, not pathology
Recognize nervous system cues and protective responses in real time
Help separate past trauma from present identity
Foster self-compassion, emotional regulation, and internal coherence
Reconnection inner wisdom with a sense of safety
Whether you’re a clinician trained in somatic therapy, EMDR, parts work, or traditional talk therapy, or someone who has experienced trauma, this course will expand your integrative skillset and deepen your capacity to support lasting transformation.
