I think Joanne's way of addressing dissociation is effective. She is humble and extremely informative in her presentations. One of my favorite speakers on this subject.
I believe no therapeutic approach is sufficient to treat Dissociative Disorders, without additional training. Appreciating what Joanne is adding to the application of IFS for Dissociative Disorders and Complex Trauma, I find her book very useful and practical, while some of her criticism of IFS is unfair, and not matching my experience of the trainings.
Still listening, but I will add that suicidal clients ARE rejected from treatment for being suicidal and "too difficult", and so are substance abuse clients. I see it all the time talking to other CPTSD survivors.
Such a distorted view of phase oriented treatment. Disappointing. Coping skills are definitely a way into the Self, helping patients detach from shame before they can embrace their wholeness.
Joanne Twombly has made a lot of $ peddling misrepresentations of IFS and how it the Institute trains people to work with trauma. I had angry parts come up around this podcast in particular, because she can say whatever she likes about how the IFS institute trains people and Lisa - who doesn't appear to be trained in IFS - doesn't have the knowledge to refute Joanne's perspective. I hope Joanne gets the backlash she deserves after this, and Lisa has someone on her great podcast who can give a more balanced perspective.
