with Lauren Williams, IFSI-Trained, Level 3
This workshop is not currently being offered, but if you are interested in future offerings, please contact us.
The Internal Family Systems approach to therapy offers a model that supports clients and therapists alike. IFS provides a framework for developing an understanding of, and relationship with, our internal worlds with genuine curiosity, acceptance and compassion. In our IFS workshops, we will introduce the model and learn how to begin integrating IFS with your current practices. We will also explore therapists’ parts and learn to draw on the qualities of Self energy as a resource in the therapeutic relationship.
This workshop will offer applicable ways to begin integrating and using the foundational tenets of IFS with your current approaches in therapy. We will cover important concepts and essentials of the model, and learn about Parts, Burdens and the Self. Join us and learn why it is said that “All Parts are Welcome.”
Learning will be both didactic and experiential, including engaging exercises. Participants with little knowledge, as well as those with basic knowledge of IFS will benefit from this workshop.
Full Day Workshop Objectives
- Understand the concepts and tenets of IFS therapy
- Identify 2 ways to integrate IFS into practice
- Describe parts of an internal system and their roles
- Learn the value of Self and Self energy as the healing agent
**This course is designed to be highly interactive with required participation from registered attendees**
