have trouble saying no to clients and maintaining boundaries

-
IFS Therapists and Practitioners with Active Caseloads – the basis of our work together.
Pauses specify the IFS experience level that the topic will be aimed toward –from Pre-Level 1 IFS Informed (must have completed a multi-day IFS Intro) to IFS Level 1 Graduate (or equivalent) through Advanced Level 2-3 grads.
All are welcome, but if you’re attending a higher level group than you’re trained for, you’ll attend as an observer/sponge, rather than as an active participant. Important learning can come from witnessing/following those a few steps ahead of us.
-
Since these groups are not capped at 6 members, they cannot count towards IFS Certification. IFS CEs are not offered at this time but might be in the future.
