— A TWO-HOUR INTRODUCTORY SESSION FOR THE HELPING PROFESSIONS —
IFS 101
An Introduction to Internal Family Systems
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based therapeutic model developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz that recognizes the natural multiplicity of the mind — the idea that each of us has many parts that carry different emotions, beliefs, and roles, as well as a core Self. Non-pathologizing and client-led, IFS has been found effective for improving overall well-being and reducing anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma. This introduction will offer an overview and experiential first look at the model.
Join us for
● The core model — managers, firefighters, exiles, and the Self, and why every part carries a positive intent. There are no “bad” parts.
● The concept of Self-energy — the calm, curious, compassionate center IFS describes through the 8 C’s.
● A taste of the practice — a guided meditation and a simple parts-mapping exercise to explore your own inner system.
● Further exploration and discussion — how IFS can provide support personally and professionally.
