Journey with Exiles with Jory Agate
August 30 @ 4:00 pm - September 2 @ 2:00 pm

In this workshop
Participants will take a deep dive into working with clients’ most vulnerable parts and bringing healing to the internal system. The program will review the core healing steps of Internal Family Systems therapy, with particular attention to advanced nuances of the unburdening process.
We will explore how to recognize when there is permission to work with Exiles and how to transition to them; how to cultivate and sustain a Self-to-Exile connection; and how to discern the role of the therapist’s Self in the healing process. Through didactic teaching, demonstrations, experiential exercises, and small-group practice and sharing, clinicians will refine their capacity to move skillfully through the healing process with their clients.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
• Identify the seven main steps of the healing process and how they might be adapted in their client’s healing process.
• Name reasons why exiles might be reluctant to trust Self and release burdens.
• Differentiate the experience from burden and indicate when it is appropriate to witness/do over and when it is appropriate to release.
• Demonstrate strategies for cultivating and maintaining a Self-to-Exile connection hile navigating protective system dynamics.
• Assess the role of the therapist’s Self-energy in facilitating healing and explore the degree that one’s own parts impede the healing process
• Apply direct access interventions to support Exile healing while maintaining attunement and client safety.
• Name a few reasons why burdens may return.
*Prerequisite: This is a workshop for IFS Level 1 graduates or above level.
