Intro to Internal Family Systems (IFS): Foundations for Appalachian Clinicians

$50.00

The Internal Family Systems (IFS) model offers a transformative way of understanding the human psyche—viewing the mind as a "collective" of parts led by a compassionate "Self."

In this 2-hour introductory webinar, we explore how the IFS model can be uniquely applied within our Appalachian communities. We will move beyond jargon to look at how "stoic" or "independent" parts of our clients (and ourselves) often serve as vital protectors, and how we can lead with curiosity to foster deep, lasting healing.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The Core Framework: Understanding the "8 C’s" of Self-energy and the "3 P’s" of parts (Managers, Firefighters, and Exiles).

  • Regional Application: Identifying common protective parts unique to Appalachian cultural identity.

  • The Concept of "Self-Led" Therapy: How to stay grounded and curious even when a client’s parts are highly activated.
