In these workshops you will get an overview and experience of the Internal
Family Systems (IFS) model of psychotherapy. The IFS model offers a clear,
non-pathologizing, and empowering method of understanding human problems, as
well as an innovative and enriching philosophy of practice that invites both
therapist and client to enter into a transformational relationship in which
healing can occur. Introductory and Ongoing
Practice workshops create a supportive learning environment through didactic and experiential learning. Certification trainings in conjunction the the US Center for Self Leadership are confirmed for the coming period, and a series of IFS Trainers and Therapists will offer further topic-specific workshops through the year.
Participants in the Introductory Workshops will
learn the basics of the IFS approach from the ground up. Suitable to
professionals (therapists oriented to or interested in experiential work, psychologists, counsellors, social workers, health practitioners, expressive arts therapist, and
certified coaches) as well as those committed to their self-development. The Ongoing Practice and Deepening offerings will
be open to those who have completed the Introductory days, and wish to
enhance and deepen their capacities through ongoing working in groups
with an experienced facilitator.

2015 Networker Symposium keynote with Dick Schwartz (6 min excerpt)
In this clip from Richard Schwartz's keynote, "The Inner Game of Psychotherapy," he explains how the method he developed, Internal Family Systems (IFS), allows clients to be the primary agent in their healing process and rely less on the therapist as an attachment figure, while making an internal attachment repair.
Internal Family Systems is the signature work of Richard Schwartz PhD, more at www.selfleadership.org
The Internal Family Systems model, is a cutting edge psychotherapy approach that offers a
non-pathological conceptual framework for understanding the human
psyche. IFS respectfully guides people toward lasting and profound
transformation. IFS applies family systems principles and systemic
techniques to working with inner parts of the person. It is widely used
internationally in the treatment of trauma and severe diagnoses, as well
as a wide variety of psychological issues and non-clinical applications
such as business consulting and meditation practice. IFS offers
therapists a way to make their practice more enjoyable and effective,
and less effortful. It also helps them find and heal parts of
themselves.
SAMHSA has recently added IFS to the US National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices
rating it effective as an evidence-based clinical treatment to improve general functioning and well-being . For more read here.
Simon is working jointly with the Center for Self Leadership (CSL) to bring a series of certified Level 1+ trainings from 2017 onwards. These local workshops and offerings are designed to be useful preparation for CSL's International Certification Program.
