“It was validating to have so many of my struggles be acknowledged and explained and then taught what could be done about them. It’s reassuring to just know that a group of professionals care so deeply about this very real and excruciating experience; to the point of creating this program. To think others will hopefully suffer less through this program in the future, brings me the most hope. Thank you so much for all the work you’re doing, thank you for giving survivors a sense of our humanity back.”

“I have seen remarkable changes since my patient learned Finding Solid Ground…without exaggeration, the program saved her life. You have given us a great evidence-based treatment. Sincerely, I think Finding Solid Ground will mark a before and after in the treatment of trauma and dissociation. It systematizes therapeutic interventions, allowing the therapist to improve his or her skills and confidence, and to finally help put an end to so much suffering of people who have unjustly experienced trauma.”

“It was good to feel like this is something there’s research behind and has actually helped people- even people who are very suicidal and in crisis all the time- like me- and wont turn me away because of severity of struggles.”

"Finding Solid Ground and the workbook that accompanies it are the books I have been waiting for, for years! Dr. Brand and her co-authors have written the most current, concise and helpful volumes on how to begin working with people with severe dissociative disorders that I have found."

An Amazon reviewer

"It breaks the skills down into ideas and tasks that even people who disorganized by their dissociation can understand and use effectively."
