The Internal Family Systems model (IFS) offers a collaborative, nonpathologizing, approach to psychotherapy that helps clients quickly access their Self, an innate state of compassion and wisdom, from which they begin to heal. Once in self, clients begin interacting with their parts that result from trauma and constrain their lives. The goal is to help transform those parts into valuable resources. Particular attention will be given to parts that use the body. This simple, yet sophisticated, integration of intrapsychic and family theory and technique, and of psychology and spirituality will be presented by its developer. Through lecture, video examples, and experiential exercises, participants will learn a clear and empowering way to understand the inner world of highly traumatized clients, and how to: Befriend those clients' protective parts (otherwise known as resistance) Safely go to their vulnerable parts that carry traumatic memories and emotions Help clients compassionately witness their trauma without being overwhelmed Help clients unload the emotions and beliefs from the traumas that drive their physical symptoms
