An Interpersonal Neurobiologically Informed Approach to Working with Relational Trauma

• Working with clients who are new to IFS and ‘can’t go inside’
• Listening to what is under what is being said
• Attending to languaging – yours and the clients
• Seamlessly moving from Implicit Direct Access to Insight and back
• Recognizing and working with shame in clients with complex trauma
• Using the therapist’s Self energy for co-regulation
• Attunement skills for different types of clients
• Recognizing and working with your parts who respond to certain populations of clients

In this workshop, we explore the wider implications of the IFS journey with our parts.

• How does IFS move from a healing modality where we are being with parts and healing the wounds from our past, to being part of a spiritual journey, where both healing and awakening are possible and how these processes overlap.
• What practices, readings, or resources foster the process of IFS  being part of spiritual practice or path?​
• Understanding spiritual bypassing from an IFS perspective?
• What thoughts do you have about psychedelics and the spiritual on the IFS journey?
• How have Dick's own ideas of spirituality shifted since using IFS for himself and with clients?
