About the Workshop:
This workshop will explore the roles and intentions of manager and firefighter parts within the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model. Clinicians who are new to IFS, and those who are looking to deepen their IFS practice are welcome to attend. Material for this workshop will be presented both didactically and experientially. Participants will engage in getting to know their own manager and firefighter parts and building Self to part relationships. Participants will practice interviewing protector parts in small groups. Content on common protector fears will be presented. There will be an emphasis on asking for consent from protectors and working with protectors. This workshop will teach practical skills for clinicians to incorporate into their practice.

Please note that this is workshop will include both didactic and experiential learning components. The experiential learning structures include demonstrations of psychodrama and other experiential processes which often include (optional) personal disclosures from participants. While personal growth is often a byproduct of experiential learning in psychodrama, the primary purpose of this workshop is training. If you are seeking a workshop for personal growth or seeking a professional training event that is entirely didactic (lecture/powerpoint), this is probably not the best workshop for you.
