As a therapist with more than 30 years experience working with individuals experiencing severe and persistent mental illness and trauma, I can honestly the information presented in this book on IFS trauma work has truly increased my compassion and understanding of how trauma affects every area of our lives. I have assigned this book as part of our department’s training protocol and have been delighted to be able to listen to a novice clinician describe the strides her client is making now that she has been able to utilize Joanne’s IFS language in her sessions. Truly amazing work with direct practical easy to understand interventions. Thank you Joanne!
