IFS & Direct Access: The Key to Unlocking the Secret History of Parts

Direct Access is an essential skill in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy often used in the process of unblending extreme parts. Practitioners may use this skill exclusively in their most challenging sessions and may struggle with this skill or lack the confidence to use it effectively. This workshop will teach skills and concepts to help practitioners become more confident and competent using Direct Access more frequently.

Learning this skill of Direct Access will inherently improve your ability to navigate the 6 Fs, creating a better Self to Part relationship and ultimately understanding the Internal Family System model better. This workshop will teach practical and experiential ways to use this technique
in becoming proficient so when challenging sessions arise it will be a natural and well honed skill.

Intended audience: counselors, social workers, marriage and family therapists, psychologists, practitioners
Formal training in the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model is recommended but not required.
