Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS): An Empowering and Transformational Model

Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) is exploding worldwide for good reason.

It is an evidence-based therapy model, taps into the healing potential of the multiple minds or parts that everyone possesses. Instead of viewing them as pathological or obstacles to growth, IFS views these parts as different expressions of who each person is.

IFS accesses the universal source of self-compassion and growth that we all possess – what IFS calls the Self. The Self knows how to heal, allowing one to become integrated and whole.

Here’s what you’ll  learn in this free training:

  •  Understand how IFS’s non-pathologizing approach  empowers clients.
  • The various parts of the psyche within the IFS model, and how different parts  interact and influence behavior and emotions.
  • Strategies to help clients engage with and understand their parts.
  • The importance of the  ‘Self’,  a central concept in IFS and how it can facilitate healing and self-awareness in clients.
  • How IFS can be integrated with other therapy approaches.
  • Case examples and practical applications in the real world illustrating the depth of healing that can occur with IFS.
