Program at a Glance
Trauma fragments the self. It disrupts memory networks, hijacks the nervous system, and leaves behind protective parts that work overtime to shield us from pain. While these survival strategies are adaptive, over time they can create cycles of disconnection, hypervigilance, depression, and shame. Healing requires more than managing symptoms — it requires integrating the fragmented parts of the self and restoring safety in the body.
This is the heart of IFS-Informed Somatic Trauma Therapy Program.
This 10-module certificate, with instruction by Dr. Frank Anderson (psychiatrist and author) and guest faculty Dr. Janina Fisher, Dr. Arielle Schwartz, Fran Booth, Kai Cheng Thom, Linda Thai and Dr. Scott Lyons, offers a powerful integration of Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic practices, and neuroscience. Through lectures, live demonstrations, case consultations, and experiential learning, you’ll gain the skills to track fragmentation, work with protective and wounded parts, and restore safety and coherence in the body and mind.
