$219.99 $66 – Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) – Frank G. Anderson
We all know what it is to feel conflicting emotions – “a part of me wants to …. and then there’s a part of me that doesn’t….” as we grapple with our internal self, desires, and behaviors.
Think about the family of emotions from Pixar’s movie Inside Out – how a family of emotions, Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust and Anger all interacted inside Riley Anderson’s mind to form her reactions and memories.
Now you are thinking along the lines of IFS – Internal Family Systems Therapy.
Most modes of psychotherapy believe to have “parts” is pathological. NOT in IFS. In IFS the idea of multiplicity of the mind is normal. Every part has a good intention, and every part has value. All clients have the ability to heal themselves if they listen to their parts. IFS is a very powerful tool for clinicians. Once you see it in action, you’ll be hooked! And you’ll want to immediately incorporate it into your practice.
In developing IFS 30 years ago, creator Richard Schwartz, Ph.D., realized that clients were describing experiences with various parts, many extreme, within themselves. When these parts felt safe and had their concerns addressed, they were less disruptive. In developing IFS, he recognized that, as in systemic family theory, parts take on characteristic roles that help define the inner world of the client.
IFS has been heralded as the treatment that all clinicians should know in order to treat clients effectively (van der Kolk 2015).
Join IFS and trauma expert Frank Anderson, MD, colleague of Dr. Bessel van der Kolk and Dr. Richard Schwartz, in this transformational recording and learn of all that IFS therapy can do for you and your clients!
Like Dr. Anderson, after integrating IFS into your work, you will transform your practice. Clients may leave your office feeling healed, with skills to use outside the therapy room to help them master their emotions.
This training will include experiential exercise, meditation, and video demonstration. You will leave transformed!
1. Investigate Internal Family Systems (IFS) concepts, steps and techniques to broaden treatment intervention options.
2. Appraise how IFS brings a non-pathological perspective of mental health disorders by translating common comorbidities into parts language.
3. Analyze the IFS view that client’s symptoms and psychopathology are attempts to solve an emotional problem.
4. Inspect a clinical session to deepen one’s understanding of IFS treatment strategies.
5. Practice clinical interventions to enhance effectiveness in sessions.
6. Appraise the benefits of applying IFS to one’s current clinical practice.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Origins of IFS – the work of Richard Schwartz, PhD
A non-pathologizing, accelerated approach rooted in neuroscience
Apply inner resources and self-compassion for healing
How to heal implicit memory wounds
Harness neuroscience for techniques that cure traumatic wounds
Study limitations: small sample size, no control group
Clinical considerations for clients experiencing abuse
The IFS Technique
Step 1: Identifying the Diagnoses & Symptoms
Assess the diagnoses: PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance abuse and eating disorders
Apply meditation practices
Finding the symptom
Focusing on its fear
Separating the person (self) from the symptom
Becoming curious about it
Find the real story behind the symptom
Step 2: Gain Access to Internal Strengths & Resources for Healing
Moving from defensiveness to curiosity
Access compassion to open the pathways toward healing
Foster “internal attachment” work
The “Self” of the therapist-countertransference redefined
Step 3: Heal the Traumatic Wound
Three phases to healing the wound:
Witness the pain
Remove the wounded part out of the past
Go of the feelings, thoughts and beliefs
Memory reconsolidation & neuroscience
Integrate IFS into Your Treatment Approach
EMDR, DBT, Sensorimotor and other methods
Transformation vs adaptation or rehabilitation
Going beyond the cognitive
Integrate IFS with your current clinical approach
