Presented by Lorri Ballard and Trevor Bird

This presentation introduces mental health therapists and other helping professionals to the Internal Family Systems therapeutic model.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based therapeutic modality that identifies and addresses multiple sub-personalities (parts) or families within each person’s mental system. These parts are created in situations to help protect and survive. Parts can conflict with each other and with one’s core Self. Self is a concept in IFS that describes the confident, compassionate, whole person that is at the core of every individual. IFS focuses on healing the wounded parts and restoring mental balance and harmony by changing the dynamics that create discord among the sub-personalities and the Self. IFS creates opportunity for internal differentiation and ultimately internal integration and wholeness. In IFS all parts are welcome.

This presentation provides participants with the opportunity to gain an introductory conceptual framework of IFS through didactic and experiential teachings and learnings. Participants will gain familiarity with their own internal family to help integrate the concepts of this therapeutic model beyond the intellect to a somatic knowing and understanding.
