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.

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.
