Who are our Exiles, and how do we support their healing in a way that is both attuned and effective? In this workshop, participants will deepen their understanding of working with their clients’ most vulnerable parts within the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model and bring healing to the internal system.

The program will review the core steps of the IFS healing process, with particular attention to the clinical nuances of working with Exiles and the unburdening process. Participants will explore how to assess readiness and permission within the system, how to transition to Exiles in a way that maintains safety and trust, and how to cultivate and sustain a Self-to-Exile connection.

Special emphasis will be placed on the role of the therapist’s Self-energy in facilitating healing, including how therapists’ own parts may influence the process. Through didactic teaching, demonstrations, guided experiential exercises, and small-group discussion, clinicians will refine their ability to move through the IFS healing process with greater clarity, confidence, and attunement.

Intended Audience
Master’s level social workers, counselors, marriage and family therapists, psychologists, and other healing professionals trained in the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model. This workshop is designed for clinicians who have completed IFS Level 1 training, as well as IFS-informed clinicians who have extensive experience applying IFS approaches in their clinical work.

Course Interaction
This live webinar is fully interactive. The workshop includes a dynamic blend of didactic instruction, video, case examples, demonstrations, guided experiential exercises, and both large- and small-group discussion. Participants are encouraged to ask questions, share insights, and actively engage in instructor-led dialogue throughout the training.

Level of Content: Intermediate
Workshop Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:

• Describe the core steps of the IFS healing process and identify how these steps may be adapted based on client presentation.
• Differentiate between a part’s lived experience and its burdens, and determine when witnessing, “do-over,” or unburdening interventions are clinically appropriate.
• Apply strategies to cultivate and maintain a Self-to-Exile connection while navigating protective system dynamics.
• Assess the role of therapist Self-energy in the healing process and recognize how therapist parts may influence clinical decision-making.
• Explain the use of direct access interventions in supporting Exile healing and identify when their use is appropriate to maintain client safety and therapeutic attunement.
