FROM EMPTINESS TO EMBODIMENT:
AN IFS-BASED APPROACH TO
HEALING NEGLECT WITH JENNY FIEBIG

Image by Nikita Kachanovsky

Workshop Description

This 4-session experiential workshop is designed for therapists who want to deepen their understanding of how emotional childhood neglect shapes internal systems and impacts adult clients.

 

Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) as the primary framework, participants will explore how neglect creates protective patterns, reinforces nervous system dysregulation, and leads to chronic emotional disconnection.

Through a combination of teaching, guided IFS explorations, and somatic practices, this workshop provides a deeply experiential learning environment. Therapists will engage with their own internal systems while also gaining practical tools for working with clients who struggle with emptiness, dissociation, and relational disconnection due to neglect.

WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?

This workshop is ideal for therapists, counselors, and healing professionals familiar with IFS who want to expand their capacity to work with clients impacted by emotional neglect. It is especially suited for those working with:

  • Trauma & Attachment Issues

  • Dissociation & Emotional Numbing

  • Shame, Perfectionism & People-Pleasing

  • Clients Struggling with Emotional Disconnection

Through this immersive experience, therapists will not only enhance their clinical skills but also deepen their own self-awareness—helping them show up more fully in their work with clients. This is not an introduction to IFS, so basic concepts & language will be assumed.

 

PLEASE NOTE: For IFS Level 1-2-3 trained professionals, 20 IFSI CE Credits have been requested and are awaiting approval.
