Summary:
Painful burdens can hold clients back from building the lives they want to live. This experiential workshop is designed for psychologists and licensed mental health professionals working with Christian clients, offering practical guidance on integrating key principles from the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of psychotherapy. With an emphasis on a Christian perspective, participants will learn how to help clients befriend parts of their souls burdened with unwanted thoughts and emotions. Based on IFS, the “Five Steps of Taking a You-Turn” framework will be introduced to help clients develop healthy boundaries and secure attachments with challenging thoughts and feelings. Through didactic lessons, guided exercises, and dyad practice, participants will learn to empower clients to cultivate “self-leadership” and lead their internal parts with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This approach aims to help clients avoid being overwhelmed by their inner experiences and instead navigate their thoughts and feelings in a spiritually guided way.
