July 15-19, 2013

This workshop is designed for therapists with little exposure to IFS as well as those who know the basics of IFS, but have trouble when clients resist, have particularly difficult parts, or when it comes to using the model with couples or larger systems. We will begin with an overview of IFS and then move onto the deeper exploration of issues that arise during treatment. This course will also provide the opportunity to participants to identify and work with the parts of themselves that interfere in their relationships with clients. The workshop will be a balance of lectures, demonstrations and experiential exercises.

Optional IFS coaching sessions will be held 12:30- 2:00 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Friday, July 19th 3:45pm-6:35pm

This workshop will introduce Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) an innovative nonpathologizing therapeutic technique honoring each client’s unique, intuitive wisdom coupled with our hypothesized neuroscience-based explanation for what is happening in the brain during this work.  We will examine the neuroscience behind meditation and “parts of self” as they relate to IFS therapy. We will show how to work with symptoms of activation as well as dissociation and withdrawal in terms of cortical “under” and “over” inhibition. We will also examine the therapeutic relationship, exploring the neurobiology of attachment and the social engagement system. Lastly we will show how IFS therapy systematically identifies dysregulated neural networks through a process called memory reconsolidation and rapidly transforms unconscious implicit memories to promote neural integration, symptom reduction and emotional wellbeing.

For everyone wanting to learn more about the IFS model, therapists and non-therapists alike.

All the world’s religions teach that there is an untarnished essence within each of us, a Self from which wisdom, healing, and spiritual energy flow. We rarely experience this Self directly because it is obscured by self-protective psychological mechanisms, or lost in the fear, pain, and shame of past trauma.

The Internal Family Systems (IFS) model provides a way to help you access the Self and bring its natural compassion and confidence into daily life. People who have used IFS report profound shifts in the feelings and beliefs that previously constrained them. IFS introduces you to a detailed map of your psyche, including all parts or subpersonalities and their inner conflicts. The Self then forms healing relationships with each of them.

Open to therapists, non-therapists, and seasoned IFS practitioners who want to deepen their skills or do more personal work, this program offers the opportunity for transformative inner exploration and learning.
