IFS Basic-Exiles Course

(US & Sydney)

Watch this Video on IFS Basics from Bonnie Weiss:

 

This 8-week course, taught by Bonnie Weiss, LCSW, will teach the basics of how to use Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) to work with clients and yourself to resolve psychological issues and heal underlying pain from the past and to enhance self-confidence and well-being. 

This is not a comprehensive training program. 

You will, however, become familiar with the basic steps of the IFS method and learn to identify and work with protector and exile parts. 

Most importantly, you will be inspired and supported to access and recognize your own capacity for Self-leadership. This core aspect of Self is the capacity that can heal the parts. The practitioner’s access to Self is the key ingredient to successfully utilizing the IFS methodology.

ABOUT THIS COURSE

This live online program, via zoom, will consist of guided meditations, class lectures, IFS demonstrations, and opportunities for individualized feedback and guidance. The course will be taught by videoconference, so we can see each other, which enhances the group connection, making it safe for you to be open and vulnerable in class. Each class is recorded, so you can watch the recording of any class you miss.

Between sessions, participants are required to read 2 chapters and conduct a 30 minute - 1 hour weekly practice session in order to practice skills. The text for the course is Self-Therapy: A Step-By-Step Guide to Creating Wholeness and Healing Your Inner Child Using IFS, A New, Cutting-Edge Psychotherapy, 3rd Edition by Jay Earley.
