Guided practice triads are the ultimate way to hone your IFS skills and abilities. There are many ways to learn the concepts and protocols, but only one way to get in-the-moment feedback and support as you embody and practice the model.
Whatever your experience level we are here to connect you to a triad and an experienced guide to support you right where you are, with others at a similar learning level.
Each series will start with a 2 hour session and a 'round robin' where everyone has a turn in the 'therapist,' 'client' and 'observer' roles and subsequent sessions will be 1.5 hours with one full-length turn as therapist for each. Time is built in for check-in, debrief and teaching, including intentional pauses during the work to check in with 'therapist parts', choice points, and teaching suggestions.
Founding members of IFS Connect will be joined by other experienced IFS therapists and practitioners to lead our practice groups (see below). All assistants have a minimum of Level 1 and two years of practicing the model.
This service is ideal for anyone who:
- has taken the IFS Online Circle
- has taken an introductory course or workshop
- has taken a comprehensive course
- has completed Level 1 (+/- desiring certification*)
We also have an option for existing triads if you would like to continue working together and be matched to a guide.
