Advanced IFS TOpics

As one moves deeper into their IFS practice, topics that are not widely discussed may appear, such as:

• how to develop your own highly unique, effective personal IFS practice

• the role of meditation in one’s personal IFS practice

• what lifestyle choices / accommodations best support advancing in one’s IFS practice

• questions about past lives

• “unattached burdens” — critters or other unusual entities

• guides

• the Self of the parts — helping parts connect to their own personal values

• helping parts lean in to using “I” language instead of “you” language

• recognizing “tone” and how this can support unblending or discovering hidden polarizations

• legacy burdens

• legacy gifts

• connecting to higher-level truths transmitted by other visionary humans as a shortcut in your personal growth work

• how to acquire new mental models (through reading, online summits, etc.) that help managers build scaffolding to feel more comfortable with the IFS paradigm

• the use of nutrition and health interventions to support IFS work

• making decisions about IFS trainings that support your IFS work

• setting up and troubleshooting IFS session-trade partnerships

• developing stronger support networks of social, emotional, physical and spiritual resources to enable deeper IFS work

With over 20 years of IFS training and practice, and over 2,000 hours of IFS training, I have a toolbox laden with ideas and insights about all these issues and more. IFS is my life on every level, and I joyfully share what I know, from the basics of IFS to the most unusual or advanced topics.
