St Barnabas Counselling Centre and Sue Lambert Trust are proud to be hosting an introductory day to Internal Family Systems led by experienced IFS Therapist Helen Marcus.
IFS is a transformative tool that conceives of every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts led by a core Self. We believe the mind is naturally multiple and | that is a good thing. Just like members of a family, inner parts are forced from their valuable states into extreme roles within us. Self is in everyone. It can’t be damaged. It knows how to heal. IFS creates inner and outer connectedness by helping people first access their Self and, from that core, come to understand and heal their parts. The mission of IFS Institute is to bring more Self leadership to the world. (www.ifs-institute.com)

BIO’S OF TRAINING FACILITATORS
Lead Facilitator: Helen Marcus
| have a Masters in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy and trained in IFS in 2019. | now primarily work with adults and as a supervisor for other IFS trained therapists. | also continue with my original specialism, working with adopted young people, with two Local Authorities. IFS as a model chimes with my own experience: that we are made of a multiplicity of parts of ourselves which have valuable roles to play in our lives. Sometimes those original roles get lost or distorted through difficult experiences, and this model is one of releasing the burdens (such as distorted beliefs and wounds) enabling the parts to be freer to fulfil their original purpose. It also recognises the presence of the Self, a constant safe presence at one's core.
In this one-day introduction we will explore together the basic principles of IFS and bring our awareness and appreciation to some of our parts.
Noticing own parts. How they show up. Their positive intention.
The roles parts play, burdens, concerns, beliefs.
Knowing our limits using the model.
