Mary Kruger

IFS level: Intermediate

We distinguish 3 Levels of knowledge and experience in IFS therapy:

  • Beginner:
    You don’t know what IFS therapy is or you are at the beginning of your IFS journey and want to know the basics of the model.
  • Intermediate:
    You already know the basics – you’ve done an introductory workshop or course and want to learn more.
  • Advanced:
    You’ve completed a number of IFS workshops and/or an IFS Institute Online Circle and/or a Level 1 training and are ready to dive deeper into the model.

Highly conflicted couples enter the therapy room

Armed with fierce protectors who keep the shame, hurt, rejection and loneliness of exiles well hidden from both the clients and the therapist.

 

Clients, therapist and the therapy remain stuck as parts engage in extreme protective roles and a series of repetitive patterns of behavior that have a positive intent, but are actually causing harm.

 

In this workshop, IFS will bring a new perspective to working with such challenging couples. Participants will find new ways to engage them in treatment, in a meaningful way.

 

Through a series of compassionate IFS interventions, participants will bring safety and connection to the therapy room and guide the conflicted couple out of entrenched roles and interactions.

How it works

All stages of the cycle were held live on June 2021. Each of them lasted 2-3 hours.

 

The whole process has been structured so that you can go through it at any time, at your own pace. In total, more than 4 hours of video material – it’s important that you find the right space for yourself to immerse yourself in this process.

 

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