LEVEL II Intimacy from the inside out (IFIO)

May 6/8 . May 20/22, 2022.

July 8/10. July 29/31, 2022.

Course Description

The basic couples course is an experiential model of couples therapy that draws primarily from the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of psychotherapy, but includes aspects of psychodynamic therapy, systems thinking, neuroscience and mindfulness practices.

This model was born out of a desire to carry the concepts of IFS into a relational setting and to use the intimate relationship itself as a vehicle for growth and healing of the individual, as well as the couple. This 72-hour  clinical training helps therapists enhance their knowledge and skills, facilitating relational work with couples and with individuals.

Learn to work successfully with common difficulties in couples therapy. In this training, IFS therapists become skilled at working with the extreme impulses of protective parts, facilitating interpersonal and intrapsychic work, and assisting couples to communicate well and deepen heartfelt connection.

Instructional Methodology

Lecture, demonstration, audio/visual, experiential practice of techniques, large and small group discussion.
