Janina Fisher explains what it means to heal your trauma. We explore how many of our most troubling feelings, such as anxiety, dread, shame, may not reflect our current lives, but instead arise as feeling memories from earlier experiences. Janina describes her trauma-informed parts approach, where these reactions are understood as parts of ourselves that once helped us survive, not as problems to eliminate.
