The Art and Science of Unblending
One of the key contributions of IFS is the opportunity for Unblending. In addition to this skill being used in our work with clients, it can benefit other situations, such as team building and promoting more successful communication in relationships. In this workshop, you will:
Deepen your understanding of unblending as a key skill for creating a clear Self-to-part relationship.
Explore direct access techniques—both implicit and explicit—to facilitate unblending.
Learn to identify Self-Like Parts and understand how they respond differently to authentic Self-Energy.
Discover how to recognize and appreciate parts without agenda, allowing unblending to happen naturally.
Cultivate a more harmonious internal system by creating space for healing and systemic change.
Build skills and confidence in unblending
Unblending is a core skill in our work and benefits from continued deepening and honing. It is also a major contribution to what we are able to bring to those with whom we work in the service of inner healing – resulting in profound inner shifts.
Being blended means we are merged with our parts and their energy and perspective – and we all have times of this! When parts are blended, they obscure the core Self Energy, making them feel alone. Helping them separate from Self (unblending) allows Self to begin to be in relationship with these parts, thus facilitating healing that comes from Self’s clarity and caring.
How can we be more aware when we start to blend?
This workshop will expand skills and provide more range to your Unblending tool kit. When loyal and hard-working protectors have their concerns heard and addressed, they are willing to unblend and they feel more trust and will relax enough to give Self access to younger wounded parts. From this workshop you will become more confident and present as you help the client be more in relationship to parts who have been too alone and can see only through their ‘partial’ lens.
We will also deepen our awareness of how our own parts influence the field. How can we be more aware when we start to blend with parts who react to other peoples’ protectors with impatience, disappointment, frustration, hopelessness?

Satisfaction Guarantee
If you’re not fully satisfied after attending the first day of our 2-day online workshop, simply let us know before the second session begins, and we’ll offer a full refund—no questions asked.
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.
How it works
Each of the workshops will be held live, on the Zoom platform.
You will receive the link to the Zoom meeting along with the password one day before each workshop session. There will be technical support available.
In 5 days after each live session, you will receive access to the recording. The recording will be available in your Life Architect Account, so you can go through it at your own pace.
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.
Experiential activities
This workshop emphasizes hands-on learning through experiential activities designed to deepen your understanding of Unblending. These activities foster personal connection and collaborative learning, enabling you to actively engage in practice. Here’s what you can look forward to:
