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.

This 2-day IFS workshop is for IFS trained and/or informed therapists and practitioners who work with neurodivergent clients or who want to learn more about their own autistic systems. Our online workshop will allow you to build connection, both within your own systems using the IFS model, and to the greater autistic community. 

The IFS model depends on two sources of Self-energy – the Self of the client and the Self of the practitioner.  In Level 1 IFS trainings we learn primarily about utilizing the Self of the client to ‘go inside’ to witness and heal their parts; we call this modality in-sight.  However, what do we do if our clients aren’t able to do in-sight?  We can use the other source of Self-energy (our own) to directly connect with the part(s) of our clients. This is called Direct Access and is the second modality of IFS.

​This 54-hour Step 2 Somatic IFS Online Training will build on your immersion into the practices of Somatic IFS that you experienced in the 30-Hr Somatic IFS Step 1 retreat. Each weekly session of this clinical training will focus on the integration and application of the somatic practices of awareness, breath, resonance, movement, and touch with the IFS Model of psychotherapy.

This two-day experiential online workshop with Kay Gardner explores the spiritual dimensions of IFS therapy and how they naturally emerge when we work from Self energy. Through meditation, movement, dyadic inquiry, and group process, participants will explore powerful spiritual doorways within IFS, sacred space, personal vs Self-led power, shadow work, guides, dreams, and synchronicity.

This comprehensive, interactive workshop offers a framework grounded in IFS, trauma-informed care, somatic therapy, attachment theory, and relational neuroscience.
