An Overview of Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy
Description
This course is a brief overview of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model presented via zoom. It outlines and describes the essential concepts of the IFS model; a protective system of parts with positive intentions which can become burdened and blend with (block or obscure) a healing Self. Working with parts to unblend and enter into a healing relationship with the Self enables clients to unburden their wounded parts.
These concepts will be described and explained in a PowerPoint lecture and illustrated by live demonstrations with student volunteers.
Instructor
Bruce Hersey is a leader in the development of a systematic integration of Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) with Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS); IFS-Informed EMDR. As a certified advanced practitioner and consultant in both approaches, Mr. Hersey has had the privilege of cultivating the development of hundreds of IFS and EMDR therapists through numerous workshops and consultation groups, reaching a broad international audience. Mr. Hersey ‘s training in Coherence Therapy and background as a former consultant in clinical hypnosis further refine his teaching through understanding of implicit memory and naturalistic trance states. He is founder and director of emdrifs.com, a resource for self-paced training in IFS-Informed EMDR, and co-Founder of the Syzygy Institute, which provides live experiential training and certification. Mr. Hersey has authored a chapter in the upcoming book “IFS-Informed EMDR Therapy” by Millia Begum, scheduled for publication in 2024.
