You will experience a 5-day intensive IFS Level 2 training approved by IFS Institute with Osnat Arbel, PhD as a trainer. Thanks to a highly experiential program and priceless support of experienced Program Assistants, you will deepen and broaden your knowledge and skills of IFS therapy.
This training is a retreat-style training (accommodation and full board included), which means that the whole group will stay in one retreat center. It creates a space for a deeper level of insight and connection in the group, and allows you to focus on the learning process and the inner work.
The training will be lead by an IFS International Lead Trainer, Osnat Arbel, PhD. As a certified IFS therapist and the Co-founder of the Israeli Institute for IFS she is training, supervising, and facilitating groups since 2008 while living the IFS model both personally and professionally.
You will meet experienced therapists from all over the world. It will let you share your knowledge, experience and ideas, and also form relationships that can last for years. This training is not only a learning experience, it's also a social one.
Deepening & Expanding
The dynamic and continuous growth of IFS model is a proof of its healing power.
In spite of increasing the number of IFS trainings offered throughout last few years, all of them are filled with many more interested wanting to join.
IFS Level 2 trainings are the important next step on the education path that will let you master the skills needed to heal trauma, addiction, dissociation and much more.
It’s an opportunity to deepen the knowledge and the understanding of how our internal families work and what it takes to bring Self-led transformation.
What you'll learn
This 5-day course will focus on different aspects of working with the model. You will learn how to:
- treat clients who have experienced severe trauma,
- work with internal polarizations,
- deal with dangerous firefighters,
- proceed with unburdening in complicated cases,
- work with exiles holding Legacy Burdens,
- use advanced techniques with challenging clients,
- use Direct Access and In-sight,
- work with your own therapist parts that are activated while working with a client,
- form the therapeutic relationship by deepening the participant’s awareness of, and relationship to, their own parts.
This training includes many opportunities for your own self-exploration and you will have the chance to experience all of what’s mentioned above with your own parts in the safe environment of the training itself.
