Description
Book SynopsisHolographic Reprocessing for Healing Trauma, Abuse, and Maltreatment facilitates constructive reorganization of the perception of trauma which in turn, modifies associated emotional and behavioral tendencies that render people stuck in repetitive cycling of trauma. These patterns are called experiential holograms. This book outlines a step-by-step process to 1) identify experiential holograms, 2) consider context to holistically reappraise meaning, and 3) reprocess using an imagery-based procedure of visiting one's younger self to offer a healing message. This novel approach is integrative, easily tailored to individual needs, and well-grounded in theory. It can be applied to healing from a variety of traumatic experiences including moral injury, medical, interpersonal, and military traumas. Numerous outcome studies support a growing evidence-base for the efficacy of this treatment, and this is an indispensable guide for trauma clinicians.
Trade Review"I have seen great success with Dr. Katz’s Warrior Renew protocol and am honored to endorse this book, which presents a blueprint for using holographic reprocessing for a full range of trauma experiences. This book is a must read for any trauma therapist, not only for learning these techniques but also for reading multiple case examples that model for us Dr. Katz’s compassionate style for treating our most traumatized patients."
Eliyahu Reich, PhD, trauma psychologist, past president of the Tennessee Psychological Association and Memphis Area Psychological Association
"In this book, Lori Katz, a compassionate clinician and innovative thinker and researcher, offers a transdiagnostic, holistic path of healing for those who have experienced trauma, abuse, and maltreatment. Holographic Reprocessing elucidates the underlying patterns that create ripple effects of traumatic experiences through peoples' lives. This approach can transform individual lives and our collective network of interpersonal relationships."

"This book is an invaluable resource for professionals who work with trauma survivors of any kind, combining a comprehensive exploration of theory with readily applicable tools to implement in practice. Holographic reprocessing is the culmination of decades of insights from clinical experience with this population and deeply rooted in an extensive body of research. This innovative approach helps survivors achieve powerful, lasting change in their lives."
