The document is about reconstructing the self after trauma. It discusses how trauma can annihilate a person's sense of self and cause dissociation. The document presents recognition theory and treating dissociation by creating safety, building the therapeutic relationship, teaching skills, and working with different personality parts to reintegrate them and facilitate recovery. The goal of treatment is to help trauma survivors reconnect and rebuild their sense of self through therapeutic support and skills mastery.
