IFS: A Tool for Liberation

With Fatimah Finney and Dick Schwartz

An invitation from Dick Schwartz…

I’m thrilled to invite you to join our global community of advanced IFS learners in the Continuity Program. This offer is available to those who’ve completed an IFS Level 1 Training or Online Circle.

For over five years, we’ve developed programs focused on IFS applications of current clinical topics. We’ve witnessed a phenomenal community of thousands develop and connect from around the world. I’m always excited to see how our IFS trainers and thought leaders are on the front lines of innovation with the model.

A highlight for me, are my monthly connections with the IFS Continuity community. During my live events, we provide opportunities for members to present case consultations, as well as selective review of client demonstration videos.

You now have two options for joining our Continuity Program.

1. You can purchase an Annual Membership which includes 12 months of programming, a total of three courses.

2. If you’re not ready to commit for an entire year, you can now make an Individual Purchase of just one course.

Enrollment is now open until September 30th.

I look forward to you joining us!

Here’s what we’ll cover in the next program -

IFS: A Tool for Liberation (Fall, September-December 2024) 

The IFS model has facilitated profound change in therapy offices with clients and in personal relationships in homes and across communities. As the need for global healing intensifies, the question of how to transform self-leadership within individuals into collective liberation for our world looms large. In what ways can IFS be used as a tool for liberation?

This course will explore the application of IFS as a liberatory psychology and identify ways to leverage its teachings to meet the need of collective liberation. With specific focus on navigating conflict, recognizing and shifting systems of oppressions, and centering social justice, this course will explore the opportunities within the model and its limitations to answer the call for healing that’s needed.

…Last year I was on the fence about the cost and wondered how much I would get out of the program. Now I can’t imagine going without it. It has been a valuable resource for diving into special topics within IFS, hearing excellent case consultations, and learning from more of the lead trainers
