Richard C. Schwartz – Healing Self: Going Beyond Acceptance to Self-Compassion

Richard C. Schwartz – Healing Self: Going Beyond Acceptance to Self-Compassion

Mindfulness has become a popular and useful tool in psychotherapy, but therapists too often encourage clients to adopt a passive-observer stance in therapy, as if it’s enough to just observe thoughts and emotions from a place of separation. This workshop will provide a comprehensive overview of how to guide your client move beyond detachment into a more engaged and relational form of self-compassion and self-healing.

1. Integrate the IFS model into your clinical practice and accelerate healing for PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance abuse and eating disorders.
2. Develop a deep understanding of how neuroscience informs therapeutic decisions in IFS therapy.
3. Explore methods for honestly and transparently handling situations in which clients are emotionally triggered
