Coaching with IFS: Co-Creating Healing & Awakening with Internal Family Systems (ICF Maryland Hosting)

.75 Core Competency and .75 Resource Development CCEs

The ICF recently sponsored a study that found that 85% of coaches have clients requesting help with their mental well-being. This presentation addresses that need. It will change how you see and work with your clients. IFS is best known as a psychotherapeutic model, but it is more than that: it is a personal development model that can be used by practitioners from all the helping professions to support their clients in healing and awakening. IFS provides a framework for understanding the human psyche and how to end suffering. It synthesizes three big ideas: (1) The human psyche naturally divides into sub-personalities, called parts. Inside each of us are innumerable parts of different ages, temperaments, talents, and strategies to make us happy. (2) These parts live in a relational system, interacting with each other just like people, often getting into conflicts that cause us trouble. To change, we need to understand the dynamics between parts. (3) Everyone has an enlightened core, called Self, with all the qualities and resources we need. The vast majority of people are unaware of Self. IFS provides a way of accessing Self that is much faster than generally believed in most spiritual traditions and in other models of the psyche.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

This presentation helps coaches understand themselves so they can better support their clients in finding the mental and emotional wellbeing they want. It focuses on three core ideas:

1. You have many sub-personalities. This is natural, universal, and beneficial.

2. These sub-personalities are part of relational system that is operating off outdated programs developed in infancy, childhood, and adolescence. This causes suffering.

3. The solution is to introduce these sub-personalities to Self, the natural leader of the internal system, who has been obscured by sub-personalities. Self is the enlightened core of every human--no exceptions.
