Collaborative Healing with Internal Family Systems: An interactive in-person program (with Zoom viewing option)
March 19 @ 8:00 am - March 21 @ 12:30 pm
$225.00Description: This Internal Family Systems (IFS) workshop provides information on IFS from the ground up and how to adapt it flexibly to meet diverse client needs and issues. This workshop brings together two IFS certified therapists who will share and demonstrate their perspectives, experience, and style of engagement with IFS. Participants will learn the IFS framework and language, how to introduce IFS practices to clients, and how to work with clients’ vulnerable parts that carry past hurts, protective parts that guard against pain and manage daily challenges, and self-energy that supports healing. The workshop includes the topics of legacy and cultural burdens and unburdening “exiles” – parts burdened with pain, shame, fear, and other intense emotions from past traumas, often suppressed due to their overwhelming nature. Participants will also explore different ways to apply IFS and gain insights on how to choose the best approaches for each situation. Therapists will practice skills for managing their own internal systems during therapy sessions, including tracking and managing triggered parts. Live demonstrations by Tasha and Deborah, and small group activities, will help participants integrate IFS principles into clinical work, fostering deeper therapeutic connections and transformative healing processes.
