Similar content as One-Day, though updated, plus practice exercises with coaching. You will benefit even more from this experiential workshop.

These workshops are limited to 30 participants due to the highly experiential practice-focused nature of the course. There is a 1:3 staff-to-learner ratio with highly qualified Guides supervising/coaching multiple practice sessions. It is anticipated they will sell out.

If you have taken this 2-day course already, you qualify for a $100 discount. The registration form will allow you to indicate that you have taken this course before and then you will pay only $500.

A two-full-day didactic & experiential workshop offering a specific view of ego-states, in the context of EMDR therapy through an IFS lens, regarding their ubiquitous appearance, defenses, & relational phenomena. A conceptual bridge is formed between the two models, yielding additional language to enrich therapist-client communication about the client’s internal process, and much more.

Understand the importance of Self-Presence and the co-presence or activation of a Target Part in relationship to the Self. Cultivate and maintain Functional Dual Attention in the Assessment & Desensitization Phases using measurement scales (beyond SUD & VOC) relating to Self-Energy, state-binding affect & protective intention.

Alignment with Memory Reconsolidation research ala Coherence Therapy for additional precision in targeting underlying implicit memories, to increase the accuracy of identifying and elaborating appropriate positive and negative cognitions in the Assessment Phase.

These methods will be demonstrated live with participant volunteers, and significant supervised practice time is planned for participants to learn by doing.

The content of this course is evidence-based.

There is no known commercial support nor conflict of interest for this program.

Registrants for IFS-Informed EMDR must have completed EMDR basic training and have familiarity with the IFS model either through workshop or retreat experience.

This workshop is ideally suited for practitioners who have completed the 6 hour IFS-Informed EMDR course offered live or the online version available at emdrifs.com. It is not appropriate for practitioners without EMDR basic training and previous IFS workshop experience. The latter can also be obtained online at emdrifs.com (IFS for EMDR Therapists).

The workshop does not provide training in either model. It assumes participants have knowledge of both. Reading IFS doesn't quite do it sometimes. There is a process aspect to it, and experiential, video, or demo exposure gets that across in a way that reading does not. If you do not meet this requirement, use the time before the workshop to meet the IFS prerequisite.

My experience has shown that participants with minimal IFS experience struggle to integrate the material, especially in practice exercises. If you haven't already begun to use IFS principles in your practice, you will not optimally benefit from the workshop.

Bruce is an experienced workshop and retreat leader who will facilitate the co-creation of a gentle and safe learning environment wherever this workshop is offered. He has led and co-led many local IFS workshops, as well as several IFS conference presentations. Bruce has also published short animated educational introduction videos on IFS (Finding Your Parts) and EMDR (EMDR at a Glance) on YouTube.

An LCSW in private practice at Altoona, PA for the past 30 years, Bruce provides advanced consultation in IFS, EMDR, Clinical Hypnosis and Sex Therapy in person, by phone and internet video conferencing.

"Bruce’s integration of EMDR Therapy and IFS is brilliant. He provides a roadmap for therapists to make sense of the phases of EMDR Therapy - and any “resistance” or challenges encountered through the lens of “parts.” Understood this way, there are no blocks to processing anymore, simply parts that need understanding. His program helps with conceptualization and also provides a concrete step-by-step process for integration. I initially took his training probably six years ago and have taken it again since. It has transformed my practice. I highly recommend it."

Elizabeth Venart, LPC Supervisor and EMDR Consultant -The Resiliency Center Flourtown, PA
