In our culture, criticizing addiction is welcome. It’s often believed that this is the only way to control the behaviour of people who are addicted. IFS offers a paradigm shift – a perspective in which we can unlock the healing potential by being compassionate to those who are stuck in their addiction. During this workshop series you will learn how to use compassion to effectively resolve addictive and compulsive practices.

Many of us has caretaking and therapist parts that are very much similar to Self. Often, these are the parts that motivated us to become therapists and practitioners. But when we support people, such Self-like parts can hinder the progress of therapy. This workshops series will help you to discriminate between helping, caretaking, therapist parts and the Self, and show you strategies to unblend them.
Pamela Krause is an IFS Senior Lead Trainer at IFS Institute and is trained in Hakomi therapy. She has a private practice working with adults, adolescents, and children.

One of the biggest challenges for IFS therapists and practitioners are protectors, who are difficult to befriend. These are the parts that doubt the existence of Self, cut us off from our inner experience, are not willing to share their positive intent or have any other extreme strategy that bring stuckness to the process. During this IFS workshop series you will learn new ways to befriend these difficult protectors.
