Summary

Traumatic experiences leave a “living legacy” of effects that often persist for years and decades after the events are over. Historically, it has always been assumed that retelling the story of what happened would resolve these effects.

However, survivors report a different experience: Telling and re-telling the story of what happened to them often reactivates their trauma responses, overwhelming them rather than resolving the trauma. To transform traumatic experiences, survivors need to understand their symptoms and reactions as normal responses to abnormal events. They need ways to work with the symptoms that intrude on their daily activities, preventing a life beyond trauma.

Dr. Janina Fisher, international expert on trauma, has spent over 40 years working with survivors, helping them to navigate the healing journey. In Transforming the Living Legacy of Trauma, she shows how the legacy of symptoms helped them survive and offers:

  • Step-by-step strategies that can be used on their own or in collaboration with a therapist
  • Simple diagrams that make sense of the confusing feelings and physical reactions survivors experience
  • Worksheets to practice the skills that bring relief and ultimately healing

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Very helpful insight into how trauma affects us

I’m no expert on trauma but after listening to this audiobook, I feel I have a far better insight into how I’ve got to where I am, and most importantly how to make some adjustments to improve tire quality of life.

This is a good book for someone like me who wants an easy read that doesn’t baffle or confuse.

I’m inclined to seek out more work by Janina Fisher to further assist my journey.

Insightful and pragmatic

Read this while going to therapy for ptsd. This was very useful to help structure the healing process. Narrator voice was clear and had a warmth to it.

triggers in your partner

the bit where a man who is abusive is just a man who is triggered and that the partner should just support there triggers??? so you have been abused and it is your fault for not supporting there triggers. This is not good
