Janina Fisher, PhD. Managing in The Midst of COVID-19
Today my guest is the incomparable Janina Fisher, PhD.This is the third in the series, Managing in The Midst of COVID-19, (listen to Bruce Perry here and Peter Levine here).When I reached out to the Trauma Therapist | 2.0 community to ask them who they’d like to hear from for this series, Janina’s name (not surprisingly) came up quickly.I’ve been fortunate to have been trained by Janina during my Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Level 1 and Level 2 trainings, and be a member of one of her consultation groups. Her knowledge of trauma is inspiring and her humor is non-stop. She’s incredible.

Somatic Experiencing Trauma may be a fact of life, but it doesn’t have to be a life sentence. Somatic Experiencing is a psychobiological method of addressing clients’ physical and emotional trauma conditions, and helps to give voice to their experiences without a need for them to retell the story.
SE was founded by Dr. Peter Levine, author of the bestseller Waking the Tiger, who developed Somatic Experiencing based on explorations of how animals deal with threat, nervous system overwhelm, and traumatic experiences on a daily basis.
SE focuses on regulation of the nervous system and offers the opportunity to engage, complete, and resolve the body’s instinctual responses to traumatic experiences.
