IFS is Grief Work: Healing Unattended Losses
Exiles become burdened when the response needed to distressing events is not available. This is one definition of trauma. Healing this loss, often profound, includes grieving. This workshop will explore the application of the IFS model to grieve these unattended losses.
We will discuss how to identify and work with protectors that avoid, rush, minimize, distract, etc. from the grief. We will discuss allowing exiles to stay with grief to deepen healing and integration.

An IFS Lens on Therapist Burnout
Being a therapist is fascinating, rewarding, and sometimes quite challenging. For IFS clinicians, however, there is an important added benefit -we work collaboratively, looping in client Self-energy as an active partner in the process. Yet, I hear therapists tell me they often feel overwhelmed, work long hours, and are really tired. Is this ‘normal’? Is it okay? Is it harmful?
In this experiential workshop, we will discuss signs of compassion fatigue and burnout, discovering how our parts view the parameters of therapist responsibility and the intersection of our needs with our clients.
