Add additional power to your current clinical approach and make trauma treatment more effective in a short period of time when you incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy in your practice.
Join Dr. Frank Anderson, psychiatrist, author, and vice chair of the Foundation for Self Leadership — the leading organization dedicated to advancing the IFS model through research and training — in this comprehensive online course where he will give you a step–by–step guide for applying IFS therapy into your clinical practice.
Throughout the online course, special emphasis will be given to understanding how trauma affects the brain and how you can use IFS therapy to facilitate in the healing of complex trauma and its common co-morbidities, including anxiety, depression, panic, insomnia, obsessive-compulsive behavior, and more.
You'll also get exclusive insight on how neuroscience can inform why, how and what IFS techniques you should use to maximize your clinical outcomes — so you'll know exactly how to empower your clients to overcome even the most complex traumas.
Learning how to apply the IFS model has never been easier — revolutionize your clinical approach and help your clients heal themselves!
You'll end this intensive online course presented by PESI and Dr. Frank Anderson prepared to start integrating the Internal Family Systems model with your current clinical models.

You've likely heard your clients explain their feelings of conflicting emotions, "a part of me wants to…and then there’s a part of me that doesn’t…” as they grapple with their internal "Self," desires, and behaviors.
With the transformative IFS approach, the idea of multiplicity of the mind is normal. Every part has a good intention, and every part has value. Even for trauma survivors.
Through engaging case studies, in-session demonstrations, and masterfully presented lectures, Dr. Frank Anderson will show you step-by-step how to apply the most effective, empirically-validated IFS model interventions to help your clients listen to and understand their conflicting parts to master their emotions — so they can discover deep, lasting healing.
- Accelerate the healing from complex trauma by integrating the IFS model into your current clinical practice
- Improve assessment and treatment planning with tools to help identify, specify, and clarify the protective parts of clients with trauma histories
- Protect clients from emotional and psychological pain by offering an alternate view of symptoms and psychopathology that shows clients how parts are trying to protect them
- Showcase a non-pathological perspective of mental health disorders by demonstrating how the IFS model translates common comorbidities into parts language
- Increase your curious and compassionate self when using IFS therapy to work with clients who have trauma histories.
- Improve clinical outcomes by learning how to differentiate between therapeutic and biological conditions.
- Heal clients' traumatic wounds through the unique IFS internal attachment model.
- Handle extreme symptoms of trauma by determining if they are rooted in sympathetic activation or parasympathetic withdrawal.
- Gain quicker access to your client's traumatic vulnerabilities through IFS specific therapeutic techniques that shift arousal and withdrawal.
- Use neuroscience to inform your therapeutic decision–making so you'll know exactly what tool or strategy to use to help your clients heal.
- Integrate IFS therapy with your current treatment approaches including EMDR, DBT, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.
