The Format:
IFS Retreat-Style Level 1 training will meet for two 6-day On-Site Sessions and two Telecourse Sessions over the course of about 4 months. Your trainers will employ a variety of learning modalities, including lecture, discussion, demonstration, video review, experiential exercise, and small group supervision and practice.
Training participants thoroughly learn both IFS theory and technique, gaining a substantial understanding of the conceptual framework of IFS and the practical skills needed to actively use it with various clinical populations, including individuals, couples, children, families and groups.
