Deepening IFS Work

Level 2 trainings give Level 1 graduates the chance to develop their IFS expertise in a variety of content areas and with different clinical populations. IFS Institute offers the majority of the Intensive Level 2 trainings, with Toni Herbine-Blank offering Intensives called "Intimacy from the Inside Out." Central Connecticut State University offers Multi-topic Level 2s.

IFS Level 2 Topics: There are several types of Intensives. Deepening & Expanding with IFS offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself more fully in the core aspects of IFS ® practice and experience. Other Intensives explore one topic in-depth for the entire training. In addition, Level 2s are taught by some of our most experienced trainers.

Those with an approved General Application are eligible to receive invitations to register for Level 2 trainings in specialized topics such as:

• Trauma and Complex Systems
• Shame, Anxiety, and Depression
• A Compassionate Approach to Addictive Processes
• Deepening and Expanding with IFS
• Working with Children and Adolescents

Multi-topic Level 2s: These trainings cover four content areas in one training, including Strengthening Skills and Advanced Techniques, Working with Trauma, Working with Multiple Systems, and The Therapeutic Relationship and Spiritual Aspects of IFS.

IFS trainings are designed to provide professional continuing education and practice in using the IFS model for mental health care professionals. IFS Institute is working on many fronts to create more trainings, and part of this work is to expand our curriculum so that we can provide programs and opportunities in the future for those who are not mental health care professionals.
