Playback session - audio sample

We live in scary times filled with economic meltdown, terrorism, global warming, and crime. No matter what their presenting problems, our clients' feelings of stress, grief, powerlessness, and despair will undoubtedly be dialed up in this atmosphere of generalized fear and loathing. In this workshop, we'll discuss Internal Family Systems, a model that explains how people try to protect their most vulnerable and frightened inner "parts" by exiling them to unconsciousness and responding to perceived threats with fury, impulsiveness, and aggression. You'll experience that deep within ourselves, beneath these frightened and reactive parts, is a calmer, wiser Self--a core of equanimity, openheartedness and inner leadership, with the power to lead, heal, and integrate all the others. We'll explore the clinical relevance of this model and you'll learn how to help even your most agitated clients find their own inner source of strength that can generate genuine empathy and compassion for self and others. (This session will continue with Workshop 305.)
