Beginning with Ourselves
A monthly therapist parts connection time
This is a time and place to 'connect in' with your therapist parts and 'connect out' with other therapists and practitioners. We all know we 'should' spend time with our parts but don't always take the time. Having space in our schedules dedicated to this alongside other humans makes it much easier.
Elizabeth and Robin will lead the group with guided meditations, sharing in small and large groups, experiential exercises, and demos with therapist parts. Our intention is to befriend our therapist parts and so become more Self-led in our work. Both therapists and practitioners are welcome.
Maximum number of participants is 16.
Important notes:
- This is not a therapy group
- This is not a case consult group
- These hours won't count toward certification with the IFS Institute
