ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
A One-Day Workshop
Saturday, May 22, 2021, 10:00 am – 5:30 pm ET
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is one of the fastest-growing and most innovative approaches to psychotherapy. Developed over the past four decades, the Internal Family Systems model offers both a conceptual umbrella under which a variety of practices and different approaches can be grounded and guided and a set of original techniques for creating safety and fostering Self-to-Self connection in couples and families.
IFS is now evidence-based and has become a widely-used form of psychotherapy, particularly with trauma. It provides a non-pathologizing, optimistic and empowering perspective and a practical and effective set of techniques for working with individuals, couples, families and more recently, corporations and classrooms.
IFS offers a way to understand and work with clients that helps them quickly access their Self—a core of valuable leadership qualities, such as compassion, to face life challenges—and harmonize their internal family of “parts,” or sub-personalities.
In this workshop we will learn to help clients:
- access Self
- deal with client resistance and transference more effectively
- repair attachment injuries
- identify the effects of trauma and use IFS in treating trauma
- and gain an awareness of our own sub-personalities and how they impact our therapeutic work.
