In this training Liz will cover:
- A brief overview of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model.
- How to get a part to step back.
- How to use this model in your practice to effectively coach your clients.
- A step-by-step integration roadmap to support your next action steps is provided, as well as lifetime access to the recording.
Liz’s distinctive approach combines three models (Internal Family Systems, psychodrama, and coaching) to help clients address obstacles and underlying issues to promote inner clarity, compassion, connectedness, and ultimately inner balance/harmony. Liz has designed courses and trainings to teach therapists and coaches how to merge these models to work with individuals and groups. Liz recently authored an upcoming (soon to be published) book called The Group, co-hosts a successful podcast called Bossy Brilliant & Badass, and is also a trial consultant helping attorneys gain further insight into their cases. Liz has a private practice in New York City where she facilitates ongoing groups and workshops.
A few words about Parts:
Parts work is a branch of Internal Family Systems, a therapeutic model founded by Richard Schwartz which has deep roots in the psychotherapeutic concept of “splitting”. In IFS, a split is personified (ie. protector parts, young parts, fearful parts) and it arises at different times defensively. Every human being splits, it’s a classic primitive defense that is very useful and aligns closely with what’s happening in our nervous system. A healthy use of splitting would be when a surgeon splits in order to perform surgery; a pathological example of severe splitting would be dissociative identity disorder (formerly referred to as multiple personality disorder) ie. Brad Pitt in Fight Club, Jim Carrey in Me, Myself, & Irene; and James McAvoy in Split.
