This full day workshop will explore the theory and tenets of Internal Family Systems (IFS) conceptualized within a biblical worldview.  The training will include a discussion of the self and the IFS concept of the multiplicity of the mind.  Participants will learn and practice the process of IFS therapy.  We will look at the meaning of healing, both from the perspective of IFS and that within a biblical perspective. 

Two Day Workshop. During Day One, we will explore the varieties of trauma through the lens of IFS and basic tenets from Somatic Experiencing® and Attachment Theory.

We will conceptualize trauma’s imprint and the creation of parts. Day Two will focus on preparation for deep work and treatment using IFS. Included will be a discussion of our therapist parts that may be activated. An experiential exercise and demonstrations will be utilized to advance your learning. 

Prerequisite: This workshop assumes an introductory or 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.
