Educational Goal
Participants will gain competency in using IFS and working with challenging clients.
Description
Working with clients that may want change but are struggling to get the outcomes they want in therapy can be distressing for clinicians. It’s easy to call a client “treatment resistant,” but Internal Family Systems informed therapy and Parts Work would simply describe this phenomenon as a protector part doing its job extremely well! Learn basics of using somatic therapies, IFS informed approaches and Parts Work, and treating deeply rooted core beliefs to help your clients befriend and understand their protector parts and unconscious coping mechanisms to help build self-compassion, improve the therapeutic alliance, and get “unstuck” in the therapeutic process.
