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 this PESI presented online course featuring 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 therapy 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 therapy 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."

The Internal Family Systems (IFS) model 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 how to apply IFS therapy 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 therapy in your practice.

Module 1: The Essentials of IFS therapy 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 workshop, you'll gain a foundational understanding of the IFS model — including its core methodology, neuroscience roots, and clinical application — so you can discover its full potential for permanent healing.

This module includes:

	Session 1 — Overview of IFS Therapy: 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 therapy 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: Mastering Internal Family Systems therapy Step by Step with Dr. Richard Schwartz Fundamentals

See the IFS model 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 therapy: 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 therapy: 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.

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.
