Joanne Twombly, MSW, LICSW, integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) with essential knowledge from the complex trauma and dissociation field for safer, more effective treatment of C-PTSD and dissociative disorders. She's got more than 30 years of experience in the field of treating dissociation! In her book "Trauma and Dissociation Informed Internal Family Systems: How to Successfully Treat C-PTSD and Dissociative Disorders", she writes that:

– "Dissociation is a protective defense that, in a way, hides oneself from oneself."


In this interview, Joanne shares her argument for trauma-informed adaptations to standard IFS. Here is some of what we cover:


– Dissociation, and how to dissociate "better"—which gives choice and control - Use the trance you are in!


– Dissociative parts can show up as numb, deaf, robot, or sex-only parts. As Joanne explains, all of them have a survival purpose, and healing requires compassionate engagement—not suppression


– Hypnotic language as a tool to support engagement, symptom management, and communication with parts


– Orienting parts to the present: essential when parts are stuck in past timelines or multiple subjective realities


Being even with affects


– How to combine IFS with phase-oriented trauma treatment to create a safe and effective model


– Using containers to hold trauma until it's safe to process


– Creating safe spaces for parts not actively participating in a session


– Safe Space Imagery: stick around as Joanne offers a brief, guided experience - It helps parts manage overwhelming material.
