PARTICIPANTS
Limited to 25 persons (plus the training team).
Participants will be supported in the experiential work with experienced trained therapists and practitioners as your assistants – each have completed the official IFS Institutes Training Level 1 or better.
This workshop provides an opportunity for didactic presentation, watching both demonstration sessions with commentary and discussion, and engaging in experiential exercises where we learn-by-doing. You will develop a familiarity with the powerful attitudes and techniques that make IFS so effective. The sessions here aim to provide an opportunity for adult learning in a process-oriented group approach. We aim to foster professional development in a supportive collegial atmosphere.
Anyone attending the live training/workshop is recommended to have a vaccination against COVID-19. We recommend all participants take best precautions (masks, distancing, hand-washing) in order to take care of others and themselves during the pandemic and flu seasons. Despite loss of media attention, the Australian infection rates and hospital numbers are still significant, and we hope to take care of those around us by taking good care in gathering together. Long Covid is a reality.
Testimonials from attendees of Simon’s recent IFS workshops ...
“The workshop inspired me to become more committed to using the model and developed my confidence. Group discussions, demonstrations and small group work created a positive and open learning atmosphere. Simon was living the values of IFS through openly embracing all the parts in the room. I had the opportunity to work with my own parts in a supportive atmosphere.
Fun, informative, experiential, respectful, and inspiring.
Useful, effective, grounding, and gave me more confidence in using IFS”
Really enjoyed Simons’s presence, authenticity, compassion, and expertise in the field. It made for an engaging and fun workshop and I came away inspired by IFS.
An absolute must to attend if you are wanting to explore the use of IFS in your practice.
I really appreciate Simon’s process oriented style and his embodiment and refined understanding of IFS – he lives and breaths it.”
Who is this for?
Participation is for therapists and counsellors, mental health clinicians, or students in accredited graduate training programs.
