Description:
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.
Today, IFS has established a legacy of effectiveness in successfully treating many mental health issues and is being heralded as the treatment that all clinicians should know in order to treat clients effectively.
Outline: 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
Finding the real story behind the symptom
Step 2: Gaining Access to Internal Strengths & Resources for Healing
Moving from defensiveness to curiosity.
Accessing compassion to open the pathways toward healing Fostering “internal attachment” work
The “Self” of the therapist-countertransference redefined.
Step 3: Permanent Healing of the Traumatic Wound
Three phases to healing the wound: Witnessing the pain
Removing the wounded part out of the past
Letting go of the feelings, thoughts and beliefs Memory reconsolidation & neuroscience
Integrating IFS into Your Treatment Approach
EMDR, DBT, Sensorimotor and other methods Transformation vs adaptation or rehabilitation Going beyond the cognitive
Integrating IFS with your current clinical approach

ACE approved providers and individual courses approved by ASWB are not accepted by every state and regulatory board for continuing education credits for social workers.
