Introduction to Internal Family Systems Therapy with David Eckel

This one-hour webinar aims to provide a foundational understanding of Richard Schwartz's IFS therapy model, its core concepts and therapeutic protocol. It is intended to assist creative arts therapists to consider how they might integrate IFS principles into their work. No prior knowledge of IFS Therapy is required to attend. There will be a voluntary, brief individual reflective meditation, and time for questions.

Attendees can expect to learn:

• The fundamental IFS concept of Self
• Different classifications and roles of parts
• The unique therapeutic relationship in IFS
• An outline of the IFS Therapy protocol
• Ways of how IFS concepts could be integrated into Creative Arts Therapies
