Through rarely seen client session demonstration videos with full transcripts, you'll have the unique opportunity to sit alongside Dick Schwartz and see exactly how he leverages the power of parts therapy to patiently guide clients toward incredible, lasting healing outcomes.
Through real sessions and commentary, you'll learn:
- How to quickly find the part of a client that holds the trauma and create safety to start the healing process
- How to deal with being “triggered” as a therapist
- How to help clients become their own secure attachment figure for their exiled and traumatized parts of self
- The common and often misunderstood phenomena of “legacy traumas” where a person is afflicted with trauma that happened in previous generations (see this occur in a real session)
- How to help clients unburden from traumatic memories and parts that are stuck in the past in a shockingly powerful and intuitive way
- Why he doesn't believe in the need for extended “grounding” techniques at the start of trauma therapy
In this session, Dick Schwartz provides a foundational understanding of the IFS therapy model and offers critical insights into how the approach is being effectively used today.
You'll also get an introduction to the powerful session videos you'll experience in the upcoming modules. Schwartz explains how these clips not only showcase how to help the client heal, but they also teach you, as the therapist, what to do when you're triggered.
Meet a client who suffers from PTSD after being a medic in an active war zone. He now deals with suicidal and homicidal thoughts and internal voices, dissociation, and an extreme tic that will become apparent in just the first few minutes of the session. This is the type of client that could easily trigger even the most seasoned of trauma therapists.
Watch Schwartz masterfully and calmly guide this client out of suicidal and homicidal thoughts, moments of extreme dissociation, and an uncontrollable spasm of his arm – all within a single session.
In a follow-up video, the client reports back about his wife's view of the change: “I was losing hope...She's happy I'm better. It's as if I have more capacity to love.”
We will all, at some point, meet a deeply angry client who takes out their anger on us. Even as we try to help, parts of our client may find it hard to trust us and allow us in.
You will see a client who has an extremely angry part that was developed after an abusive childhood. He's held that anger so long that he not only projects it toward Dick, but also toward himself in the form of suicidal ideation.
By the end of this session, you'll see a major breakthrough as the anger dissipates and he experiences hope for the future.
In this powerful session, you'll meet a woman who's haunted by years of sexual abuse that have led to other self-destructive behaviors. Watch as this client unburdens from the things she has held for decades.
You'll experience how IFS therapy works with multiple different parts as they get triggered. You'll end this session with more awareness and ability to use IFS techniques to stay with the client all the way through their pain.
