Description:

My first year as a therapist was difficult. I avoided my client’s internal emotions and instead tried to control the difficult symptoms I was seeing – which led to heated arguments and frustration rather than progress.

When I started listening closely to my clients, I finally discovered the answer to healing and transformation …

As my clients talked about their parts and how they felt pain and emotions, I realized the secret – each part must be free from trauma, abuse and any attachment injuries that may have caused it.

Since I began developing Internal Family Systems The effectiveness of IFS (Immediate Focus Therapy) was established 30 years ago. It has been scientifically validated to help a wide range of mental health conditions, such as anxiety, trauma, and depression. It is also one of the most popular therapy methods.

Hailed by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, IFS will transform your clients’ lives as they learn to heal themselves. IFS is not a therapist’s directives or insight. Instead, IFS will create a lasting connection with your client.

In this recording – I want to give you the skills you need to use IFS, so you can improve what you’re doing in the therapy room – and see transformation in your clients’ lives.
