0404 - Internal Family Systems (IFS) in Couple and Family Therapy

Course Description

Hours: 12

Internal family systems (IFS) is a powerfully transformative, evidence-based model of psychotherapy with broad applicability to couple and family therapy. Drawing on family systems theory, IFS therapists believe we all have multiple parts that contribute to the functioning of our internal world and our relationships with others. The goal of therapy is to access calmness, clarity, compassion and the unique competence of each client’s system and to harness this energy in the service of relational change. This workshop will cover the fundamentals of IFS-based couple and family therapy. Participants will leave the workshop with an overview of the core competencies of applying IFS to couple and family work, as well as tools in inviting clients to access the courage of ‘self energy’ so they may speak for, rather than from, their parts.
