Описание: The 3 Essential Steps of Trauma Healing | Frank Anderson on IFS and Unburdening

Trauma therapy training at Academy of Therapy Wisdom offers clinicians a clear, compassionate framework for understanding what is truly required for deep trauma resolution. In this teaching, psychiatrist and IFS expert Frank Anderson, MD, breaks down the essential components of trauma healing and explains how Internal Family Systems (IFS) facilitates lasting transformation.

Drawing from decades of clinical experience, Dr. Anderson outlines three core elements necessary for healing trauma: sharing (witnessing), a corrective experience, and release. He explores why trauma work must include separation (“being with” rather than “being in”), how unburdening occurs energetically and neurologically, and why safety and boundaries are foundational before accessing wounded parts.

For therapists working with complex trauma, attachment wounds, or dissociation, this training clarifies the arc of healing—from establishing safety, to witnessing exiled parts, to creating disconfirming experiences that allow genuine release. Dr. Anderson also walks through the specific IFS unburdening process, including witnessing, the “do-over,” retrieval, release, and system realignment.

This session is especially valuable for clinicians seeking to integrate IFS, somatic awareness, and relational repair into trauma treatment while avoiding retraumatization. With warmth and clarity, Dr. Anderson emphasizes that while modalities differ—EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, AEDP, IFS—the underlying principles of healing share common themes rooted in compassion, connection, and internal wisdom.
