What to Know Before You Register

  • Classes will start off with an open discussion followed by a PowerPoint presentation on the week’s topic, then a demo or video followed by Q+A.
  • If you have to miss a class, please let me know beforehand and I will record it and email you the link. You must watch it before your practice group so you will know what to do when you meet.
  • In between classes, you will have a 1.5+ hour practice group in a triad, which begins in week 2. Many participants plan on a longer time so they can reflect on and discuss their experiences. The three of you will decide on a time and venue. Each week’s practice group will have a new focus and we’ll have a chance to discuss what you experienced at the next class.
  • If you can’t make a practice group, please contact the other two people in your group to reschedule.
  • This course is intended to provide you with both theory and skills, along with the added benefit of experiencing IFS as a clinician and a client. It is through this experience that you will come to understand the profound shifts that can happen internally that makes IFS such an effective therapy.
  • As this is an IAOT accredited course, there will be a multiple-choice test at the end.
  • Course materials will be sent to you a week before the course begins.
  • The course price is kept low to offer an IFS training option that is accessible and affordable.
  • Includes 4 hours of group Supervision /IFS Consultation

 

After you submit your registration, you will be contacted to confirm your spot.
