DESCRIPTION
Explores the IFS paradigm of depression, anxiety and shame, not as a disorder, but as a coping mechanism of parts responding to a limitation in the internal or external system.
It shows how this understanding provides a foundation for a unique and powerful approach to these very common symptoms. Presents the organizing nature of shame. It focuses on expanding the participant's knowledge of essential processes unique to the IFS, such as polarizations, working with extreme managers and firefighters, and venting.
Emphasizes advanced techniques: working with inherited burdens, phobias, despair, and inner critics. The focus on the self as a healing agent continues in both the client and the therapist. Includes opportunities for self-exploration and development of the therapist's self.
Anxiety and depression are the symptoms most frequently experienced by people who come to psychotherapy, and shame is often the driving force that fuels both. This IFS Level 2 training provides an innovative way to understand and work with the universal human problems of anxiety, depression and shame with evidence-based theory.
This intensive training is an in-depth exploration of shame, depression, and anxiety through the lens of the IFS model, providing a framework that makes ingrained symptoms viable.
