Description
Module I:
Whether you are working for an agency or are in private practice, this module will provide you with an overview of how to start an IFS group, from getting buy-in from prospective participants to introducing IFS language and concepts to the whole group. Whether you offer open or closed groups, this module will show you three distinct approaches to using IFS with groups. In each approach, Sue will offer a guide for how to start each group, use the 6-Fs to help participants unblend from their parts, and teach participants how to speak for their parts rather than from their parts with the intention of creating greater connection to Self and others.
Module II:
One of the most valuable ways of learning the IFS model is to watch trainers do real-life demonstrations in IFS trainings. In this module, you will watch a recorded demo of Sue facilitating a closed group with five participants, all of whom know each other. The group was unscripted, and Sue facilitated it as she would any other closed group. It is a demonstration of Option One described in Module I. At the beginning and end of the group, Sue comments on the process of running the group.
Module III:
This module focuses on handling one of the most challenging stages of group development: The “storming” phase. Rather than pathologizing participants or their parts, you will learn how to understand challenging group process from an IFS lens, as well as learn how to use IFS techniques to heal interpersonal ruptures and help unblend participants from extreme parts. This module will illustrate how Sue teaches participants to track their own parts during challenging group conversations, which can lead to courageous conversations, unburdening of painful family-of-origin issues, and greater Self-energy.
Module IV:
Although the focus in therapy groups is primarily on the participants, this module will reflect on the importance of the role of the therapist. Sue will address ways to work with therapist parts that get activated or hijacked when facilitating group. She will also distinguish between therapy groups and consultation groups, and describe how agenda-driven groups, such as work groups and training groups, can benefit from applying some of these principles. Sue will also touch upon the nuts and bolts of starting an IFS group, including recruitment, marketing, and group member selection.
