Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS): 2-Day Experiential Workshop (HS - SCHWARTZ - 054050)
Tracking # 20-881605
Course overview
As a young therapist, I often struggled to get results. I avoided my client's internal emotions and instead tried to control the difficult symptoms I was seeing - which led to heated arguments and frustration rather than progress. When I started listening closely to my clients, I finally discovered the answer to healing and transformation... As clients would talk about their different parts (and how the parts felt pain and emotions), I realized that was the key - we have to free each part from the trauma, abuse, attachment injuries and suffering that they feel. Since I began developing Internal Family Systems (IFS) 30 years ago, it has been scientifically tested to be effective at helping a wide variety of mental health conditions - such as trauma, addiction, anxiety, and depression - which is why it is one of the fastest-growing approaches in therapy. Hailed by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, IFS will transform your clients' lives as they learn to heal themselves. No more therapist directives or insights, rather IFS will provide a connection with your client that creates lasting healing. Please join me in this unique recording. I will give you valuable feedback, guided instruction, and share powerful in-session videos of IFS in action. I want to give you the skills you need to use IFS, so you can improve what you're doing in the therapy room - and see transformation in your clients' lives. Richard Schwartz, PhD
