Prior Workshops
“Healing our Quiet Parts: An Antiracist IFS Workshop for White Allies”
I provide community Internal Family Systems (IFS) workshops for white allies exploring how their parts impact their anti-racist work. The first workshop in the series looks at protectors in the system that may be impacting your ability to speak up effectively. This workshop is aimed at those who have taken an IFS Level 1 workshop or equivalent. If you would be interested in attending one of these workshops, please email me using my Contact Me page. The four-hour workshop costs $60-$150 per person, sliding scale. Pay more if you can support this work. Scholarships are available upon request–you can make the request in my Contact Me form.
After my costs are met, I will donate the balance to an organization doing anti-racist work.
Workshop content: Using an IFS framework we’ll be working on the protective system around quiet parts that keep us from speaking up when we might wish to. We’ll be doing an Earth Meditation to increase Self Energy, using writing exercises to speak to the parts that are excited to engage in anti-racist work, and those parts that have hesitations, and you’ll be picking one protector to get to know better and explore. You’ll be sharing in dyads/triads and large group. We’ll ask for ancestors/guides to assist in our work.
I encourage friends to ask their friends to attend the workshop together as the work can go deeper. I wrote a blog post about the experience.
“Repairing Attachment After Trauma: A Case Study Using An Internal Family Systems (IFS) Lens” (June 2023) – 2 CEUs, presented for A Home Within Chapter, Philadelphia, PA, USA
This case study presentation illustrates the impact of childhood sexual trauma on attachment and ways of working with ambivalence around intimacy using Internal Family Systems (IFS). We will look at ways of working with polarized protective parts to improve treatment outcomes as proposed by the IFS model. We will discuss the clinical importance of using the IFS process to increase self-compassion during trauma recovery. We will consider differences in the therapeutic role and therapeutic relationship within the IFS framework compared to other approaches.
Objectives:
- Describe the IFS model and how it approaches case conceptualization using multiplicity of mind.
- Discuss the steps of working with clients’ “protective parts” to improve treatment outcomes as proposed by the IFS model.
- Discuss how the core concepts of IFS intervention were applied in this case to repair the internal disconnections created by trauma.
- Discuss the nature of the therapeutic relationship in IFS work.
