Understanding Ourselves

SESSION 2 OF 7

Duration 21mins 13secs

In this session, Dr Janina Fisher investigates understanding ourselves as trauma survivors and considers the various sides of ourselves that it took to anticipate, protect and be prepared for threat and/or danger. Dr Fisher considers two trauma theories and offers awareness and insight on both. She then considers how trauma can alienate us from ourselves and how an important part of trauma recovery is coming to know all parts of ourselves.

Dr Fisher reviews our ‘internal critic’ and outlines suggestions on how to moderate this influence. In conclusion, she offers therapy pathways for understanding ourselves and finding peace.
