Transcending Trauma: Healing Complex PTSD with Internal Family Systems Therapy

The parts of you that protect you are not the problem. They are doing a job they took on a long time ago.

Frank G. Anderson, a psychiatrist and lead trainer in Internal Family Systems (IFS), applies the IFS model to complex PTSD and developmental trauma. Transcending Trauma explains how protective parts form in response to early harm, why they can keep reacting long after the danger has passed, and how working with them, instead of against them, changes the way trauma is held.

What's inside

• How complex and developmental trauma differ from single-event trauma
• Why protective parts show up as shutdown, rage, numbing or self-criticism
• How IFS approaches attachment wounds and relational trauma
• Clinical examples and an explanation of the neuroscience behind the approach

Who it's for

Readers of No Bad Parts and the IFS Workbook who want IFS applied directly to complex trauma. Written for therapists and readable for survivors.
