This training introduces the foundational principles of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and equips clinicians with introductory skills for incorporating a trauma-informed approach into clinical practice. The training integrates instruction, facilitator demonstration, and guided triad practice, with an emphasis on establishing trust and developing rapport with protective parts.
Through clinical case examples and exercises, participants will develop foundational strategies for engaging parts with curiosity, compassion, and respect while considering client readiness, pacing, and their own internal responses as therapists.
Educational Goal:
The educational goal of this workshop is for participants to strengthen their understanding of Internal Family Systems (IFS) foundations and their application to trauma care, including identifying protective parts, assessing access to Self, and supporting consent and stabilization.

Apply an IFS framework with client consent to parts work, a clear focus, and attention to client stability.
