Self-Led Sexuality

<b>Self</b> in the realm of sexuality

Self in the realm of sexuality

Sexuality is complex and requires the harmonious functioning of many types of parts internally, interpersonally, and physically. Most of us carry at least a few sexual burdens, biases and blind spots acquired through personal experience as well as family and cultural legacies.

As therapists, we can be challenged addressing client's sexual issues and remaining Self-Led. And as humans, we can similarly struggle to access Self in the realm of sexuality and may face the same dilemmas as many of our clients.

Insight into <b>sexual systems</b>

Insight into sexual systems

You are not alone if you have not brought the same level of insight into sexual systems as you have brought to other dimensions of life. Most therapy programs barely address this area and even skilled practitioners of holistic approaches like IFS are often silent about sex and sexuality.

Therefore, you may never have considered the benefits of befriending sexuality so that you can feel calm, confident, and courageous addressing this area ethically and wisely.

<b>An IFS-based</b> approach

An IFS-based approach

You may not have considered the nuanced dynamics of the internal sexual system such as how parts can use the resource of sexuality to do their jobs or the unique sexual burdens that can be accrued throughout the lifespan.

You may not have explored the power of Self Energy as not only a healer of sex parts but a life force energy with qualities of sensuality and sexuality of its own, which when deemed safe by the protective system can enable access to deep pleasure and empowerment both inside and outside of the bedroom.

Meet the trainer

Patricia Rich


Patricia Rich, is a Certified IFS Therapist and Approved Consultant, an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Supervisor, and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

She fell in love with IFS in 2011 and has since completed Level 3, served as a Program Assistant, and offered IFS workshops internationally. She founded a private practice in the Philadelphia area and recently opened Patricia Rich Consulting LLC where she helps therapists and insight-oriented folks to BeFriend and Lead their Internal Sexual System (BLISS™) through coaching, training, and consultation.

When Patty first became interested in IFS, she thought it would be useful in the treatment of sexual dysfunction. Then, as she learned the model she got curious about how sexuality “lives” in the internal system. Now she believes that IFS is not only extremely useful in the healing of sexual dysfunction and trauma, but also for navigating today’s complex landscape of sexuality in a Self-Led way.

You can sign up for her free guide to The 6 S’s of Sexual Self Energy™ and learn more about her offerings at www.patriciarich.com or join her Facebook group Self-Led Sexuality with Patricia Rich.

Richard C. Schwartz

There are few issues that trigger our parts more than sex. There is no one who has provided a better map to lift us out of that morass and into Self led bliss than Patty Rich.

Sabitha Pillai-Friedman

Your presentation was absolutely wonderful. I loved your pacing - presentation, group activities, pauses, breaks, etc… I am excited to be a part of your journey!

Robin Beardsley

I loved Patti's approach to this complex topic; Her own Self Energy and experience made it possible and safe to navigate this difficult topic, not only within my own system but also how in I might approach this with clients.

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

The workshop was held live on November 2022.

The whole process has been structured so that you can go through it at any time, at your own pace. Explore almost 9 hours of video material - it's important that you find the right space to immerse yourself in this process.

The recording contain didactics, meditations and practice instructions so you will be able to do personal work in your own time. Please note that the practice groups sessions, live demos and the group sharings were not recorded.

Remember that you get unlimited access to the workshop recordings, which means you will be able to view them in a year or even in a few years.

All participants are <b>welcome</b>

All participants are welcome

Participants often remark on the level of warmth and safety they feel during Patricia's workshops, as well as the profound positive impact felt in their systems.

We welcome participants of all ages, sexual orientations, gender identities, relationship structure and status, and cultural backgrounds.

Patricia will encourage you to bring respect and curiosity toward your own experience as well as those of others in the group. No nudity or explicit sexual content will be included.

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.
