Description
IFS is a non-pathologizing, hopeful framework within which to practice psychotherapy now certified as an evidence-based practice by SAMHSA. IFS offers both a conceptual umbrella under which a variety of practices and different approaches can be grounded and guided, and a set of original techniques for creating safety and fostering healthy, Self-led, relationships within and between people. In this workshop, Jeanne and Diana will review the model and discuss its applications to problems clients bring related to emotional and physical health in their relationships with food and their bodies.
We are a culture preoccupied with dieting, wellness and devoted to maintaining unrealistic ideals of how we should look and function. Confusion and shame about our weight, size, and health are rooted in cultural messages become individual psychological burdens that can make clients lose touch with their innate wisdom about what their bodies need. This has been particularly evident during the pandemic, where messages about food and bodies have often been extreme or conflicting. The Internal Family Systems model offers an alternative to the endless quest for the “right” diet and exercise plan. The model offers a way to help clients reconnect with their core wisdom, the Self, so we can help them heal the many legacy burdens, cultural and historical inheritances, that shape their relationships with food and their bodies and contribute to systemic bias, personal suffering and ill health. The workshop will include an overview of the IFS model to ground the learning for new and experienced IFS practitioners. Teaching methodology includes: didactic learning, experiential exercise, meditations that can be used with clients, small group work. Particular attention will be paid to the way people with larger bodies are marginalized and mistreated in the health care system.

In this training we will address:
- How the impact of cultural conditioning and family legacy burdens, innacuracies from biased thinking about weight the body, as well as personal psychological challenges contribute to disconnection from core wisdom and capacity to manage food, access emotional wellness.
- How helping professionals' own inherited and accrued biases regarding weight and body shape/size impact our capacity to assess and treat our clients effectively.
- The importance of clients' capacity to heal psychological burdens and taking Self-led action to heal the systemic biases related to weight, size, health, and ability that keep them funtioning in a sub par manner.
- How to use IFS to help clients shift from an unhealthy parts-driven to Self-led relationships with food and the body, healing parts of themselves that carry painful and extreme beliefs.
- How clients can develop Self-led eating practices to incorporate into a more balanced and effective personal wellness plan to minimize psychological and physical health issues related to relationships with food and the body.
