Description

This presentation will review the basics of the IFS model and then dig deeper into the topic of understanding and releasing legacy burdens. Legacy burdens are powerful organizers of our minds and behaviors. You will become more aware of the beliefs and emotions we and our clients absorb from family, peers, ethnic groups, and cultural contexts regarding ourselves and groups with whom we identify, as well as groups we consider “other.” We will explore the sources of those burdens and the fears of releasing them. This work is critically important to create peace and less divisiveness in our often-fractured world.

 

An overview of the clinical applications of IFS in trauma work will be presented. You will learn through didactic teaching, interactive dialogue, demonstration, and live interviews. Dr. Schwartz will spend time focusing on how to support Self-led activism. Dr. Schwartz will lay the foundation for and demonstrate how to work with personal and legacy burdens triggered in political conflict and unrest. We will learn to work with what gets in the way of everyone’s innate abilities to be an effective advocate, ally and activist. This will support our work as clinicians and citizens.

Richard Schwartz, Ph.D.

Richard Schwartz began his career as a systemic family therapist and an academic. Grounded in systems thinking, Dr. Schwartz developed Internal Family Systems (IFS) in response to clients’ descriptions of various parts within themselves. He focused on the relationships among these parts and noticed that there were systemic patterns to the way they were organized across clients. He also found that when the clients’ parts felt safe and were allowed to relax, the clients would spontaneously experience the qualities of confidence, openness, and compassion that Dr. Schwartz came to call the Self. He found that when in that state of Self, clients would know how to heal their parts.

Dr. Schwartz, a featured speaker for national professional organizations, has published many books and over fifty articles about IFS.
