IFS Model Application
Target Audience
Attachment wounds have a powerful impact on life decisions like who we pick for a partner, our job and the relationship with our environments.
That’s why it's crucial to understand that when trauma is experienced alone, no one to process it with, no trusting relationship, it will get locked into a client's system without the ability to move forward.
In this interview, join Dr. Frank Anderson and Senior IFS Trainer, Chris Burris as they go in-depth on how to apply IFS to attachment wounds and the body. When a client experiences trauma, their parts will split from the Self to survive. One part will serve the role of protection while the other will remain hidden causing an internal attachment wound.
Join Chris and Frank as they dive into the breakthrough of IFS and attachment - when parts work together, they heal together.

Target Audience
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 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 through the lens of Internal Family Systems therapy.
Most modes of psychotherapy believe to have “parts” is pathological, but in IFS therapy, 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. Once you see this powerful modality in action, you’ll want to immediately incorporate it into your practice.
In developing IFS therapy 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. He recognized that, as in systemic family theory, parts take on characteristic roles that help define the inner world of the client.
Dr. Bessel van der Kolk has heralded IFS therapy as the treatment that all clinicians should know in order to treat clients effectively (van der Kolk 2015).
Join Frank Anderson, MD, IFS therapy and trauma expert, in this transformational workshop and learn of all that IFS therapy can do for you and your clients!
Like Dr. Anderson, after integrating IFS therapy into your work, you will transform your practice. Clients will leave your office feeling healed, with skills to use outside the therapy room to help them master their emotions.
This special workshop will include experiential exercise, meditation and video demonstration.

Richard Schwartz, PhD began his career as a family therapist and an academic at the University of Illinois at Chicago. There he discovered that family therapy alone did not achieve full symptom relief, and in asking patients why, he learned that they were plagued by what they called "parts." These patients became his teachers as they described how their parts formed networks of inner relationship that resembled the families he had been working with. He also found that as they focused on and, thereby, separated from their parts, they would shift into a state characterized by qualities like curiosity, calm, confidence and compassion. He called that inner essence the Self and was amazed to find it even in severely diagnosed and traumatized patients. From these explorations, the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model was born in the early 1980s.
IFS is now evidence-based and has become a widely-used form of psychotherapy, particularly with trauma. It provides a non-pathologizing, optimistic, and empowering perspective and a practical and effective set of techniques for working with individuals, couples, families, and more recently, corporations and classrooms.
