Description

After decades of clinical innovation and recent scientific research, the empirically validated Internal Family Systems (IFS) model has been shown to be effective at improving clients’ general functioning and well-being. This effective model provides clinicians with procedures for helping clients with the most challenging mental health profiles to heal the wounded, burdened, and traumatized parts of their systems.

Using the IFS model provides a compassionate, respectful, non-pathologizing approach to understanding the organization and functioning of the human psyche.

Embracing the transformative IFS therapy approach celebrates the natural multiplicity of the mind. Its assumption that every part of the system has good intention and valuable resources allows clinicians to approach even the most troubling of “symptoms” with compassion and respect. It offers therapists a powerful and effective set of tools for empowering clients with a wide range of clinical profiles to heal the wounded and burdened parts of their internal systems, resulting in:

  • a way to enter clients’ inner ecology without the overemphasis on containment and stabilization
  • symptom reduction and improved functioning for clients
  • deep self-healing within even the most troubled clients

Once you experience this powerful modality, you will want to incorporate it into your practice.

Through instruction, video demonstration, and experiential exercises, Alexia D. Rothman, Ph.D., Certified IFS therapist, will show you step-by-step how to apply the most effective, empirically validated IFS therapy interventions to help your clients connect with and understand their conflicting parts to facilitate deep, lasting healing.

  2. Prepare an in-depth overview of IFS theory, basic principles, assumptions of the model and its treatment implications.

Outline

Internal Family Systems (IFS)
  • Comprehensive, compassionate, non-pathologizing treatment approach
  • Paradigm-shifting perspective on “psychopathology”
  • Easily integrated into other therapeutic modalities
  • Teach clients to access inner wisdom and self-compassion to permanently heal traumatic wounds
Evolution of the Model
  • Development of the IFS model by Richard C. Schwartz, Ph.D.
  • IFS as an empirically validated treatment: Summary of research support
Composition of the Psyche
  • Concept of multiplicity: “We are all multiple personalities.”
  • Components of the psyche:
    • Wounded, vulnerable, parts
    • Protective parts: proactive and reactive
    • Burdens: Negative beliefs about oneself
    • The Self: compassionate inner leader and internal source of wisdom and healing energy
  • Guide clients to access their own inner wisdom and healing potential
  • IFS-specific techniques for in-the-moment emotion regulation, helpful even with panic, flashbacks, and dissociation
The IFS Model
  • Assumptions of the model
  • Goals of IFS therapy
  • Flow of the IFS model over the course of treatment
  • Flow of an individual IFS session
Case Conceptualization in IFS
  • Diversity and cultural sensitivity
  • How IFS understands personality disorders, dissociative identity disorder, and addiction

IFS Step-by-Step

Step 1: Using Meditative Processes to Identify and Connect with a Target Part

  • Differentiate the person from the symptom
  • Access a state of compassion and curiosity essential for healing
  • Establish a relationship with the target part
  • Learn the history and benevolent intention behind the symptom
Step 2: Working with Protective Parts
  • Facilitate internal attachment work
  • Learn and address the fears/concerns of protective parts
  • Establish a trusting and appreciative relationship with proactive and reactive protectors
  • Gain permission to proceed to healing
Step 3: Healing the Traumatic Wound
  • Develop a compassionate, connected relationship with the wounded part
  • Witness the pain rather than re-experience it: Learn to be “with”, not “in”, to avoid re-traumatization
  • Retrieve the wounded part from “trauma time”
  • Release/unburden thoughts, feelings, and beliefs
  • Integrate change into the system and use maintenance and troubleshooting strategies
Bringing IFS Concepts to Life

  • Video demonstration of IFS therapy with a real client
