A Series Re-Set on Trauma-Based Healing
Review of the series Doing the Work of Trauma-Based Healing
The following explains the trauma-based healing series that began last fall and was interrupted during the holidays. I thought it might be helpful to review the posts from the series—especially for those who joined recently. (Read the entire post: Healing: Doing the Work.)
The intent of this new series, Doing the Work of Trauma-Based Healing is to provide weekly resources and snapshots of what the various types of trauma-based therapies involve—from my experiences and the experiences of others. Also, because healing involves far more than what takes place in the therapy office—just like physical fitness requires work outside of the gym—I will intermingle additional ways I did the work while healing.

While I have no intent to cover everything on the following list!!!!! I find it fascinating that there are so many types of therapy. Not all are trauma-based, and therapists will often utilize several modalities in their practices. I am not even going to pretend to be familiar with everything on this list! Also, I am not suggesting that I would recommend all of them. The length of this list does make me curious to learn more! It also reminds me of how little I understood before beginning therapy!

I am curious about IFS and have heard it mentioned a few times. Is it something that you can get a book and read/do yourself or does it need a practitioner to administer? I didn’t get very far with my quick google.
