One of the benefits of combining psychodrama with parts work is that using action, you can talk with your parts, and to them, rather than just about them.   By stepping into parts of yourself through action, you can gain clarity and purpose on those parts that save you, those that serve you, and those that can sabotage you.

By using action-based techniques such as interviewing, sculpting, doubling, and role reversal, you will have a deeper understanding of how the matrix of your parts interact with one another, and how to help rearrange their structure to help them work in greater harmony.  You will also learn how to implement an intrapsychic social atom to gain greater clarity on your inner parts structure, and help them to rearrange it to allow you to move forward on your healing journey.

Join us for this weekend training  – for Helping Professionals only – to learn how to use action methods in your clinical work, so you can help your clients move through internal confusion, conflict and fear into a life of greater contentment.

Please note that while we will explore the structure of the Internal Family Systems model, this is NOT an IFS training.

COVID POLICIES:
Participants are asked to bring rapid Covid tests each day of the workshop and to arrive at least 15 minutes in advance of group to take the test before we start the workshop, or complete the test at home and bring it with you to provide proof you tested negative.  If anyone either tests positive for Covid-19 or has illness symptoms, we ask that you not return for the remainder of the workshop and a credit will be given towards a future workshop for time missed. Please note, Covid vaccination is no longer required to attend in person trainings.

If there is reason to believe it is a false positive (which studies show are rare), you can get a PCR test and may be allowed to return to the workshop with:

• a negative test
• no symptoms
• a willingness to wear a medical grade mask (N-95, KN-95, KF-94, or surgical)
• other group participants feel comfortable with this

POLICY ON SUBSTANCE USE
If you are in substance abuse recovery, you must have at least 1 year of continuous sobriety.  It is also required that all non-recovering participants abstain from alcohol and non-prescribed substances for the duration of this training, as well as the 48 hours prior to workshop commencement. This will aid in being present for the personal work and learning.
