IFS For Trauma, Anxiety, Depression & Addiction

Revolutionise your clinical approach and help your clients heal with the Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy model.

Developed over 30 years of clinical work, the scientifically validated IFS approach is filled with simple but powerful tools to treat many mental health issues by working with the various "parts" that clients find within themselves. IFS provides a masterful framework to help clients listen to and appreciate the value of each part — and then effectively works with each of them to achieve dramatic results.

Now is your chance to join IFS creator Richard Schwartz, PhD, and IFS organisation chairman Frank Anderson, MD, to learn, step by step, the transformative therapy model that can offer breakthrough healing of trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, eating disorders and more.

In this new intensive training course, you'll discover the power of IFS by seeing it in action through real-life in-session videos, as well as easy-to-follow, experiential training sessions.

And as free bonuses when you register today, you'll also get access to special bonus videos and resource clips to help you start using IFS immediately in your practice — plus access to an exclusive Q&A recording featuring Dick Schwartz and Frank Anderson.

Don’t miss this opportunity to dive deep into the approach that world-renowned trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk says, "changed the way therapy is practised."

Internal Family Systems (IFS) has been hailed by Dr. Bessel A. van der Kolk, the world's leading expert in trauma, as "the treatment method that all clinicians should know to treat clients effectively."

You've likely heard your clients explain their feelings of conflicting emotions — "a part of me wants to…and then there’s a part of me that doesn’t…” as they grapple with their internal self, desires, and behaviours. With the IFS approach, you’ll help clients understand these conflicting parts, as well as a way to talk about them in a productive way.

Learning IFS Has Never Been Easier...

Master IFS instructors Dick Schwartz and Frank Anderson will guide you step by step through these modules to fully prepare you to incorporate the transformative power of IFS in your practice.

Module 1: The Essentials of IFS with Dr. Frank Anderson Fundamentals

Join IFS and trauma expert Frank Anderson, MD, and learn all that this therapy model can do for you and your clients. In this practical and experiential training, you'll gain a foundational understanding of IFS — including its core methodology, neuroscience roots, and clinical application — so you can discover its full potential for permanent healing.

This module includes:

	Session 1 — IFS Overview: In this session, Frank will offer a step-by-step breakdown of the IFS model and teach you how it applies to your clients. Learn the roles of emotions, pain and trauma within a person and begin to understand common client reactions such as substance abuse, suicidal thoughts, obsessing, conflict avoidance, binging, cutting and more. Discover how to identify the "core self" within the client that holds the capacity for lasting healing.
	Session 2 — Gaining access to internal resources for healing: Through in-session video demonstrations and practical instruction, Frank will teach you how to assess your client's diagnoses and symptoms (such as PTSD, anxiety, depression and eating disorders) through the lens of the IFS methodology. Learn to establish therapeutic goals, and access proven processes for working with the various "parts" within your client.
	Session 3 — In-depth overview of why IFS works: In this session, you'll discover the science behind the IFS model, including the research and evidence that showcase IFS's unique ability to permanently heal both the brain and the body.
	Session 4 — The Process to Permanent Healing: In this last session, Frank will guide you through a transformative five-step process toward permanent healing, including how to overcome abuse, trauma and other clinical issues. He'll also arm you with a post-healing process for use in future sessions and to teach your client for at-home use. Finally, through a moving in-session video demonstration, you'll see in action how to change your client's emotional memory so your clients can leave with the feeling of lasting healing.

Module 2: Internal Family Systems Step by Step with Dr. Richard Schwartz Fundamentals

See IFS in action, directly with the creator of the therapy model, Richard (Dick) Schwartz, PhD. Observe a dramatic and moving clinical session between Dick and Jody, a woman who’s been haunted by early childhood trauma her whole life. Watch as Dick guides Jody step-by-step through a journey that enables her to fully embrace her capacity for personal transformation. Then hear from Dick directly as he explains the moment-by-moment decisions that guided Jody to the single-session, breakthrough healing.

This module includes:

	Session 1 — Introduction to IFS: Learn how IFS therapy can maximize clients' potential for self-healing and self-compassion. A key to accomplishing this is recognizing the difference between inner parts and Self and elevating the Self to an effective leadership position.
	Session 2 — From Emotion to Integration: Clinical Demonstration and Commentary I: Watch Dr. Schwartz in-session as he implements his IFS approach with his client Jody who's been stuck for years and has lost hope. This session combines clinical video with lively commentary.
	Session 3 —From Emotion to Integration: Clinical Demonstration and Commentary II: The clinical video and commentary continue in this session, concluding with a dramatic client transformation as Jody moves from chronic fear and anxiety to healing and joy.
	Session 4 —Dick Schwartz Answers Therapist Questions about IFS: Listen to the Q&A call recording with Richard Schwartz and Psychotherapy Networker editor Rich Simon. This session answers attendees' specific questions about how the IFS model can be integrated into clinical practice.

The Myth of Unitary Self: A Dialogue on the Multiplicity of Mind
with Richard Schwartz, PhD, and Daniel Siegel, MD

Neuroscience, social psychology, and artificial intelligence all agree that each of us consists of a multiplicity of identities that account for the richness and complexity of the human experience. At the same time, there’s more than one way to use this knowledge to elicit therapeutic healing, self-awareness, and growth. This video will showcase how two noted psychotherapists bring the concept of multiplicity into their therapeutic work.

Get to Know Dick Schwartz...

Dr. Schwartz developed Internal Family Systems in response to clients’ descriptions of experiencing various parts – many extreme – within themselves. He noticed that when these parts felt safe and had their concerns addressed, they were less disruptive and would accede to the wise leadership of what Dr. Schwartz came to call the “Self.” In developing IFS, he recognized that, as in systemic family theory, parts take on characteristic roles that help define the inner world of the clients. The coordinating Self, which embodies qualities of confidence, openness, and compassion, acts as a centre around which the various parts constellate. Because IFS locates the source of healing within the client, the therapist is freed to focus on guiding the client’s access to his or her true Self and supporting the client in harnessing its wisdom. This approach makes IFS a non-pathologizing, hopeful framework within which to practise psychotherapy. It provides an alternative understanding of psychic functioning and healing that allows for innovative techniques in relieving clients symptoms and suffering.
