Description
Beyond Survivor Volume 1: The Reconstruction of Meaning presents the core procedures of the Beyond Survivor and Cognitive/Imaginal therapies workshops. These techniques help resolve the trauma and shame of past childhood physical, emotional, and sexual abuses as well as ameliorate traumas caused by accidents, attacks, and natural and man-made disasters. Dr. Landis addresses treatment for the intrusive symptoms of nightmares, flashbacks, intrusive recollections, dissociative reactions, traumatic depression and overreactions to internal and external cues.
Beyond Survivor Volume 2: PartsWork is a practical synthesis of the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for the Unconscious and PartsWork workshops, which teaches you how to let the client’s unconscious mind do all the basic and repetitive work associated with the cognitive-behavioral therapies. Dr. Landis addresses treatment for phobic avoidance, overreactions, age regressive behavior, dissociative responses, self-defeating behaviors, maladaptive relationship choices, anger outbursts, and hypervigilance.
Since treatment of PTSD is a systemic problem, Richard E. Landis, Ph.D., C.T.S., F.P.P.R. presents solutions that are systemic in design. To that end, each training, demonstration, and book presents treatment from a different and overlapping perspective. Depending on a therapist’s experience level and personal style, the Beyond Survivor materials can be used individually or synergistically with each other.
