Frank Anderson: Treating Complex Trauma with Internal Family Systems (IFS)- RECORDING ONLY

Frank Anderson, MD Presents

“Treating Complex Trauma with Internal Family Systems (IFS)"

IFS is the treatment method that all clinicians should know. Nearly all clients with a trauma history have innate abilities that help them improve their mental health if they listen to their parts. IFS does just that. IFS is an evidence-based approach for clinicians working with traumatized clients. Once you see it in action, you’ll want to incorporate it into your practice. Clients will leave your office with skills to use outside the therapy room to help them master their emotions. This experiential training will show video demonstrations and include exercises and meditation
techniques to use with your clients.

Objectives:

• Present the IFS Model and design ways to integrate IFS into your clinical practice.

•  Specify and work with your client’s parts as defined by developer Richard Schwartz, PhD.

• Model how to work with clinician’s own parts.

• Critique an alternate view of symptoms and psychopathology, reasoning that these are ways your clients are trying to protect themselves from emotional pain and psychological wounding.

• Communicate how IFS increases the therapist’s curious and compassionate self when working with difficult and challenging clients.

• Evaluate the neuroscience behind the healing process in IFS therapy
