The challenges and feelings associated with traumatic experiences are complex and overwhelming. The guilt, shame, anger, and hopelessness can leave a person shattered and conflicted.
They feel trapped… not recognizing their own behavior or able to understand their underlying motivations… It’s as if a part of them has taken over and is forcing them to relive the traumatic pain over and over again. And on top of all of that, they’ve lost the ability to feel safe and trust others leaving it feeling impossible to reach out for help.
When someone living with these circumstances finally walks through your door for help, you need an approach that focuses on understanding and resolves their inner conflicting thoughts and feelings.
That approach is Internal Family Systems (IFS).
IFS has been hailed as "the treatment method that all clinicians should know to treat clients effectively" by Bessel van der Kolk, author of the New York Times Best-seller The Body Keeps the Score.
And on June 8 and 9, you can join Dr. Frank Anderson for 2 days of live virtual training on how to integrate the IFS approach into your practice.
Whether you're new to IFS or you've been using it for years, you'll walk away with practical insights, strategies, and interventions you can use to effectively treat trauma with IFS.
Plus, as a special bonus, we’re including Dr. Anderson’s book Transcending Trauma: Healing Complex PTSD with Internal Family Systems (IFS) with your registration for this live event!
