75% Off IFS Bundle with Richard Schwartz, PhD
Building Secure Internal Attachment + Working with Protector Parts

Richard Schwartz, PhD-speaker of the programRichard Schwartz, PhD-speaker of the program

Stable, nurturing relationships can be profoundly healing . . .

But for many clients – especially those carrying trauma – leaning too heavily on others can lead to disappointment, rejection, and the sudden activation of their most wounded parts.

And in their distress, clients often turn to protective defenses that once kept them safe but now limit their ability to heal.

This is where an Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach can be invaluable.

It not only helps clients build secure internal attachment – becoming the compassionate caretaker their most vulnerable parts have always needed . . .

. . . but also offers a respectful, effective way to work with their defensive “protector” parts so those parts become allies, rather than obstacles, in therapy.

To help you bring both of these core IFS capacities into your clinical work, we developed a pair of courses with Richard Schwartz, PhD (the founder of IFS). And right now, you can get both at 75% off the total price.

  • Practical skills to help you recognize and differentiate between a client’s internal parts

  • Specific internal attachment patterns (and how they influence your client’s relationships)

Course 2 – An IFS Approach to Protector Parts

With Richard Schwartz, PhD

  • How to identify and understand the protective function of your client’s defenses
  • Strategies to build trust and rapport with your client’s protector parts
  • Why you always want to start by focusing on protector parts (and why bypassing your client’s defenses can lead to backlash)
  • A clinical demonstration and breakdown of how Dr. Schwartz works with protector parts in a session
  • How trauma can force a client’s parts into extreme roles
  • Questions you can ask to help identify a client’s protective parts (and reduce the intensity of their defenses)

Richard Schwartz, PhD

Richard Schwartz, PhD is the founder of Internal Family Systems (IFS).

IFS is a non-pathologizing, transformative model of therapy that has been adopted by many psychotherapists, and was hailed by Bessel van der Kolk as “the treatment method that all clinicians should know to treat clients effectively.”

Dr. Schwartz developed the IFS model in response to clients’ descriptions of various parts within themselves. He found that when the parts felt safe and were allowed to relax, clients would feel more confident, open, and compassionate.

Dr. Schwartz is a featured speaker for national professional organizations. He has published five books and over fifty articles about IFS.

Here's What Your Peers Have Experienced In NICABM Programs

. . . I feel so fortunate to have this access to brain power, experience and research synthesis . . .

“When I listen to the experts talk openly about their experience, I feel so fortunate to have this access to brain power, experience and research synthesis on cutting edge issues! I go back to the videos to reinforce things that will assist my clients.”

Mary Logan, Counselor
Ipswich, MA

I benefit, my practice benefits, and most important my clients benefit . . .

“I live in Nova Scotia and have limited travel funds at the university at which I work. The series provided by NICABM gives me the rare opportunity to listen to the leaders in the field. As a result, I learn valuable information that would not otherwise be available to me. I benefit, my practice benefits, and most important my clients benefit from the knowledge and wisdom I gain from the series.”

David Mensink, PhD Counseling Psychology, Psychologist
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

. . . some dare to go the extra journey to research and educate

“These NICABM series keep me afloat, in touch, on track, well trained in my field, and more personally healthy. The best aspect, though, is that I feel validated and comforted knowing that some dare to go the extra journey to research and educate, so I can walk the path to health, and can share with others.”

Mary Corsello-Vilcheck, LCSW
Midlothian, VA

  • We put in a table of contents to make it easy for you to find the exact part of the webinar you need
  • Having the concepts already written allows you to take notes on how you’re going to use the ideas rather than transcribing the ideas
  • Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching
  • You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the session with your patients

Angela Lawrence

“I really liked being able to follow along with the transcripts as I listened…it was nice not to feel like I had to take notes. I really feel like I remember more when I both hear and see at the same time.”
