Internal Family Systems Model: Action Methods for Counselling
The Internal Family Systems Model:
Action Methods for Counselling
Webinar Description
90 minute webinar
Learn about Internal Family Systems theory and how it can be used in therapy to increase awareness of self and invite change. As a model that promotes self-acceptance, strengths and parts of self, Internal Family Systems theory lends itself well to integration with forms of dramatherapy. Parts of self are not ‘good’ or ‘bad’. Every part of the complex human being is useful. But with the whole Self in charge, a management and redistribution of the parts and their relationship to one another can be very helpful. Exercises and interpersonal role play between parts of self with the whole Self as a witness will be conducted in this webinar. Witnessing is extremely important, so that we can engage two polarised parts and allow the conscious Self to observe what happens between them.
In this webinar you will learn how parts of self can be identified and patterns can start to change. You will have the opportunity to directly participate in exercises that bring awareness to parts of self and patterns of relating. We will consider initial warmups that can be used to prepare clients for this approach and how reflection can bring safety to the process.
