UNC School of Social Work 3-Day Internal Family Systems training. Trauma can upend a person’s entire system, resulting in pervasive PTSD symptoms, and emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and health consequences. This workshop trains on an innovative, evidence-based method of healing trauma, Internal Family Systems (IFS), which works by naming and working directly with a client’s vulnerable and protective inner parts, while emphasizing the client’s intuitive center and inherent healing capacity. IFS works on its own and dovetails well with other modalities for trauma work, including somatic modalities.

This is not a standard introductory IFS workshop. Throughout, Tasha delves into the use of IFS to address diverse identities, spirituality, and intersectional systems that affect the formation of people’s parts. She introduces IFS in ways that may feel more comfortable and familiar to participants, with less jargon, while providing ideas for cultural and linguistic adaptation. She devotes special attention to understanding and working with suicidal parts and with legacy burdens and legacy gifts. Tasha brings her full self and her parts to help therapists identify and work with their own parts in the service of all of the client's parts. The training includes two full session recordings.
