IFS and the polyvagal theory

What is happening on<br/> <b>a biological level?</b>

What is happening on
a biological level?

Despite the diversity of content that brings clients to therapy, difficulty regulating their emotional experience is at the heart of their struggles. Clients can feel hijacked by extreme emotional states, uncomfortable in their own skin, and think or behave in ways they wish they wouldn’t.

Polyvagal Theory (PVT) helps us understand what is happening on a biological level when our clients are emotionally dysregulated or stuck in adaptive survival states, such as fight, flight, freeze, or numb.

IFS therapy <b>perspective</b>

IFS therapy perspective

Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) offers a compassionate, non-pathologizing approach to healing the wounded, burdened, and traumatized parts of clients’ systems and increasing internal harmony and connection.

This workshop explores the integration of IFS therapy and Polyvagal Theory to help clinicians more safely and effectively use the IFS model in treatment.

During this workshop <br/><b>you will:</b>

During this workshop
you will:

  • Understand how IFS works in concert with the nervous system to promote healing and transformation.
  • Learn how an understanding of Polyvagal Theory can help therapists and practitioners implement IFS more safely and effectively, especially in the systems of clients with complex trauma.
  • Explore, through didactic segments paired with observation and discussion of real video examples, how to seamlessly integrate IFS and PVT in treatment.

During <b>IFS and the polyvagal theory </b> we will:

During IFS and the polyvagal theory we will:

  • Describe the main principles of Polyvagal Theory most relevant to clinical work, and how PVT can inform and enhance application of IFS.
  • Translate Polyvagal principles into IFS language and describe how they can be understood through an IFS lens.
  • Explore how IFS therapy offers the key elements required by the nervous system to support the client’s abiity to effectively engage in treatment: context, choice, and connection.
  • Recognize the impact of the therapist’s internal state on clinical work and how clinicians can use this awareness to facilitate client regulation and healing.
  • Illustrate how IFS techniques can facilitate clients’ ability to regulate their emotional and physiological states in and between sessions through the process of “Internal Co-Regulation.”
  • Utilize IFS strategies to shift clients’ nervous systems towards regulation and help them access their own capacity for healing.
  • Explain the IFS position on traditional grounding and emotion regulation techniques and the importance of compassionate messaging to parts when using such techniques.
  • Develop skills to help clients foster attuned, trusting relationships with their hyperaroused and hypoaroused parts, as well as parts that strategically utilize adaptive survival responses, such as fight, flight, freezing, and numbing, for protection.
  • Distinguish between empathy and compassion through an IFS lens, and their relevance to the integration of IFS and PVT.
  • Identify client-level and therapist-level considerations for adjusting the empathy-to-compassion ratio in commonly encountered therapeutic situations.

Completion of IFS Level 1 Training is <b>not required</b>

Completion of IFS Level 1 Training is not required

At the same time, you need to know the fundamentals of IFS, as we don't offer basic didactics about the model during this workshop.

Make sure that you:

  • Have completed a thorough introductory course/workshop about IFS or the IFSI Online Circle,
  • Have a desire to embody the IFS Model – deepen the knowledge of your own system, and learn tools that aid you in this process.
<b>How</b> it works

How it works

Each of the workshops will be held live, on the Zoom platform.

You will receive the link to the Zoom meeting along with the password one day before each workshop session. There will be technical support available.

In 5 days after each live session, you will receive access to the recording. The recording will be available in your Life Architect Account, so you can go through it at your own pace.

A detailed description of experiential activities:

Please note that the teacher will respond to the needs of the group and because of that, the chosen activities may change

  • Personal practice (ex. journalling)

    Personal practice means working on your own, usually with a piece of paper, after hearing the instructions explained by the teacher. These exercises may be various - sometimes you will be invited to communicate with your parts by journalling, sometimes you will do a drawing exercise (like mapping your parts). Other times you will get a more complex set of instructions and 10 or 15 minutes to do a piece of the process on your own.

  • Guided meditations

    Guided meditation is an internal practice that you do with closed eyes, following the teacher's voice. The teacher will invite you to sit back, relax, and focus on your inner world. You will meet your parts, talk to them, and often learn things you weren't aware of before. Guided meditation can allow you to do a significant piece of inner work.

  • Pre-recorded demo sessions

    Teachers show videos of sessions that they have recorded in the past. The sessions are related to the topic of the workshops.


Opinions about this workshop series

It was a great introduction to IFS and PVT, expanding the magic from IFS with PVT. Starting with a mindful exercise and sharing in a breakout-room was great. Seeing and discussing the practical cases was very helpful. The didactic and theoretical parts were very instructive. I was personally touched and I feel I have attained very helpful new professional knowledge, I am very happy to use it, thank you very much, Lexi and your team!
Jack
It was hands down the best workshop I've completed at Life Architect. (In addition to my IFS L1.) Alexia Rothman, Ph.D. is an incredible facilitator, and the way she presents the rich material while radiating unlimited Self-energy is invaluable. What a treat!
Noemi Sullivan
Very interesting, packed with information, and excellently and emphatically facilitated very strong (and moving) case stories.
Iain McGilchrist
This was such enjoyable and helpful training. It was so relevant to my current goals for development (integrating models) and provided what I hoped it would 100%. Lexie is so knowledgeable.
