An IFS Approach to Secure Internal Attachment
The Critical “U-Turn” That Can Shift Clients Out of Blame and Into Repair

A client with deep attachment wounds often looks for soothing, validation, and repair through their relationships.
As a therapist, you’ve probably seen how this often sets off a painful cycle:
The client gets reassurance, but they need more. They get an apology, but it doesn’t resolve anything. They get closeness, yet they still feel alone, unseen, or insecure.
But here’s the thing – instead of turning inward to gain insight or make a change, these clients often focus outward.
They spend their energy trying to change the people around them. And that can leave the client feeling even more disappointed, reactive, or ashamed.
According to Dick Schwartz, PhD, creator of Internal Family Systems (IFS), this is just one reason why developing internal attachment can be essential.
And he’ll be getting into exactly how to help a client do it in this all-new live workshop:
— New Live Workshop —
Cultivating a Secure Relationship with Yourself: An IFS Approach to Internal Attachment and Regulation
During the live session, Dick will get into how to help clients turn their attention inward, soothe their activated parts, and reduce reactivity in their relationships.
Here’s the agenda:
- How early attachment experiences organize a client’s internal parts
- The exact in-session language that can redirect a client from describing someone else’s behavior to noticing their own activated parts
- How to recognize when a client’s criticism of others is a signal of attachment wounds
- Why some clients keep reaching for reassurance no matter how much they receive
- How to help a client develop a secure internal attachment figure (and what becomes possible for clients when they can access it)
In this workshop, Dick will highlight how an IFS approach differs from traditional models that emphasize communication skills, offering a framework you can use to work with the internal processes that are driving your client’s relational distress.
The workshop will take place live on Tuesday, June 23 from 11am-2pm Eastern Time.
There will be an opportunity to ask Dr. Schwartz your questions during the Q&A portion of the workshop.
Not only that, but your registration also includes the video recording and transcript of the presentation. If you can’t attend live, you can watch whenever it’s convenient for you.

Course Instructor

Dick Schwartz, PhD
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.

Why the Transcript Is Essential:
- The transcript makes it easy to go back and double check concepts, citations and names that are mentioned
- 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

“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.”
