Consultation groups for level 1+ trained IFS therapists and practitioners
Summer 2023
Goal of the group is to support folks actively working on integrating IFS into their clinical practices. We will focus on specific clinical cases and their IFS conceptualizations, on therapists’ parts trying to aid the process and on further developing IFS skills, such as unblending from the parts, holding Self-energy, using direct access, 6Fs, and externalization of the parts. We will also look at the larger systems within which we and our clients are functioning and consider the ways in which those systems affect our multiple identities. In addition, this group is also a place to receive emotional support and bathe in collective Self-energy. Group is limited to 6 participants.
