The presentation offers a focused exploration of the therapist’s qualities of Self Leadership in the therapeutic process.  These qualities are used to deepen clinical practice and support the therapist’s critical mass of Self energy while engaging with clients. In this workshop, we explore each of these qualities known in IFS as the 5 Ps: Presence, Patience, Perspective, Persistence, and Playfulness. We learn how each of the 5 Ps functions within the IFS framework and why embodying these qualities enhances relational attunement, supports nervous system regulation, and contributes to lasting therapeutic change.
