Friday, July 18th, 2025 Connecting our Stories and our Parts – Using Genograms and Parts Maps in IFS Therapy
Program Content:
This workshop will explore the theory and use of genograms within Family Systems Therapy. Through experiential exercises, participants will create their own genograms and parts maps and discover how to use these tools in therapy with their clients. THIS WORKSHOP REQUIRES A WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF IFS.
Dual Relationships and Confidentiality: This workshop will include self-reflection and sharing to your comfort level, for the safety of all participants, it will be important to prevent (if possible) dual relationships of those in attendance – for example if you know that a client will be present, perhaps choose the alternate workshop. Since the training will include sharing to the comfort level of the students, you agree to keep confidential any and all personal sharing that takes place during the workshop.

About:
Internal family systems, or IFS, is a type of therapy that believes people are made up of several parts or sub-personalities. It draws from structural, strategic, narrative, and Bowenian types of family therapy. The theory, according to the founder of IFS, Dr. Richard Schwartz, is that people have several parts living within them that have both healthy and unhealthy roles. The assumption is all parts belong and in their non-extreme roles, have something positive for the individual. One goal of IFS therapy is to discover the core Self and become Self-led, which can bring harmony and balance to and with these parts in one’s internal family system.
About the Facilitator:
Carol is a certified Level III IFS therapist; she has been practicing and studying the model since 2007. It is her passion to encourage growth of the Self of the therapist, help
participants work with their therapist parts and deepen knowledge and application of IFS with clients. She has been a Program Assistant with IFS Level I training and presented on IFS at various venues. In addition, Carol has training in psychodrama and experiential methods of therapy that may be included as an adjunct with IFS therapy.
