EFT and IFS: Healing Together
EFT and IFS: Healing Together
With ICEEFT SUPERVISOR and certified ifs therapist LORI MARCHAK
Two-Day Experiential Workshop, July 15-16, 2023 at Boulder Hot Springs, Boulder, Montana
More information and registration coming soon!
This workshop presents and explores an integrated model of EFT and IFS that can bring more flexibly, power, and effectiveness to our work with clients. EFT and IFS are complementary rather than competitive models of psychotherapy. Each brings a uniquely powerful perspective to the world of therapy.
In this two day workshop, we review the models’ commonalities and differences, clarifying where the models differ only in terminology, and where they diverge conceptually. We heighten the contrast in therapist stances between the two models, and present a model that allows therapists to flow back and forth between these stances in a flexible manner depending on client and therapist factors.
