IFS couples therapy is an area that gets more and more interest. There are many challanges to this kind of work and when we meet a highly conflictual couple we may be surprised with how the process gets complicated. During this series of online workshops Mary Kruger will show you how to approach such couples and how to use IFS to help them.

Mary Kruger, MS, LMFT, founded Rimmon Pond Counseling, an IFS-based private practice in Connecticut, and has specialized in addictions, eating disorders, trauma, and relationships for over 20 years.

This series is for you if you already know the basics of IFS, but you’re not sure how to integrate it into your practice with clients. Liz Martins will show you how to use IFS techniques as a therapist and practitioner, helping clients in their own process.

Apart from being IFS trained, Liz Martins is certified as an Advanced Sensorimotor Psychotherapist and accredited as an EMDR Practitioner (Eye Movement Desentisation and Reprocessing). She has also trained in Somatic Trauma Therapy, the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM), Lifespan Integration, Brainspotting, and Family and Trauma Constellations.

Being a parent means being triggered. Often. IFS therapy gives us tools that help us to see which parts of us are triggered by particular behaviours of our children. If we can unblend from our parts, we can show up for our children as parents who present, compassionate and supportive. During this workshop, you will learn how to use IFS to become a more Self-led parent.

Dr Frank Anderson is a Lead Trainer for IFS Institute, who also trains for Bessel Van der Kolk’s Trauma Center. He is an author of the recently published book „Transcending Trauma” in which he talks about healing Complex PTSD with IFS therapy. He also co-authored the „Internal Family Systems Skills Training Manual”.

IFS therapy and psychedelic-assisted therapy are a great fit. It’s because of that Internal Family Systems is one of the main modalities used in MDMA trials done by MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies).

During this online workshop series an IFS Teacher, Robert Falconer – who co-authored „Many Minds, One Self” book with Richard Schwartz – will take you on a journey, during which you will learn how to use IFS to support the altered states of consciousness, Robert and his guests – leaders in the field of psychedelic therapy – will talk about the application of IFS therapy during three stages of work with psychedelics – preparation, experience and integration.
