Upcoming Seminars

Introduction to the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Model: Unlocking the Wisdom Within

WILL BE HELD VIRTUALLY VIA ZOOM

This workshop will provide an introduction to the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Model, an experiential and compassionate model of psychotherapy that enhances awareness of innate sources of healing within. According to Dr. Richard Schwartz, the IFS Model “views a person as containing an ecology of relatively discrete minds, each of which has valuable qualities and each of which is designed to — and wants to — play a valuable role within.” This dynamic therapeutic approach is beautifully non-pathologizing as it encourages courageous, compassionate curiosity to develop an understanding of how life experiences shape our responses to ourselves and the world around us. Clients and therapists work collaboratively to unlock the internal wisdom within by exploring the internal dynamics that often block authenticity. This workshop uses didactic and experiential teaching methods to foster an understanding of the foundational concepts of the IFS model, including multiplicity of human experience and conceptualizing the protective functions and roles of the internal system.
