In this workshop series you will immerse yourself in the Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) model of psychotherapy. IFS Institute's International Partner Simon d'Orsogna MA will offer a 2 Day Introductory IFS workshop, followed by a 2 Day Deepening Experientially workshop. Attendees of previous Introductory IFS workshops can apply for tickets in the Deepening, with preference going to the current program's participants.

Participants in the Introductory Workshop will learn the basics of the IFS approach from the ground up. No previous knowledge of the model is assumed. Suitable to mental health professionals including therapists, psychologists, counsellors, psychiatrists, expressive and therapeutic arts practitioners, and social workers. The focus in the Deepening days is on further understanding the IFS approach, model and techniques through a series of exercises, demos and discussion. To attend the Deepening, attendees muct have completed the Introduction to IFS workshop or equivalent (6 hours minimum). Priority will be given to current enrollees in this Introductory workshop to enhance group cohesion and safety.

Participants will be supported in the experiential work with experienced trained therapists and practitioners as your assistants - each have completed the official IFS Institutes Training Level 1 or better.

This workshop provides an opportunity for didactic presentation, watching both live and demonstration sessions with commentary and discussion, and experiential exercises where we learn-by-doing. You will develop a familiarity with the powerful attitudes and techniques that make IFS so effective. The sessions here aim to provide an opportunity for adult learning in a process-oriented group approach. We aim to foster professional development in a supportive, collegial atmosphere exemplifying the IFS model.
