Description
Most modes of psychotherapy believe that having “parts” is pathological, but in IFS therapy, the idea of multiplicity of the mind is normal. Every part has a good intention, and every part has value. Even for trauma survivors.
In the treatment of trauma, IFS therapy is different from traditional phase-oriented treatments. Instead of starting with building resources in clients before processing traumatic memories, it welcomes extreme symptoms from the onset, learns about their positive protective intentions and gets their permission to access the traumatic wounds.
Hailed by Dr. van der Kolk, the world’s leading expert in trauma, IFS therapy is the treatment method that all clinicians should know. Nearly all clients with a trauma history have innate abilities that help them improve their mental health if they listen to their parts.
Watch IFS therapy and trauma expert Frank Anderson, MD, in this transformational workshop. Once you see it in action, you’ll want to incorporate it into your practice.
Clients will leave your office with skills to use outside the therapy room to help them master their emotions. This experiential workshop will show video demonstrations and include exercises and meditation techniques to use with your clients.

Objectives
- Integrate the IFS model into your clinical practice and accelerate the healing from complex trauma.
- Analyze the protective parts of clients with trauma histories to help with assessment and treatment planning.
- Apply an alternative view of symptoms and psychopathology, showing how client’s parts are actually trying to protect them from emotional pain and psychological pain.
- Demonstrate how IFS translates common comorbidities into parts language, showing a non-pathological perspective of mental health disorders.
- Communicate how IFS increases the therapist’s curious and compassionate self when working with clients who have trauma histories.
- Differentiate a therapeutic issue from a biological condition for better decision making in your clinical practice.
- Evaluate traditional attachment theory perspectives on healing to the IFS view (an internal attachment model) and learn to trust the clients’ internal relationship to heal their traumatic wounds.
- Determine if trauma symptoms are rooted in sympathetic activation or parasympathetic withdrawal to help inform the treatment process.
- Demonstrate IFS specific therapeutic techniques that shift arousal and withdrawal, allowing quicker access to clients’ traumatic vulnerabilities.
- Develop a deep understanding of how neuroscience informs therapeutic decisions in IFS therapy.
- Integrate IFS with your current treatment approaches including EMDR, DBT, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.
- Differentiate IFS to traditional phase-oriented treatment and learn accelerated ways of accessing and healing traumatic wounds.
