Description

Regain your clarity and clinical perspective quickly when dealing with difficult clients by learning a new way of identifying and dealing with the cognitive distortions and extreme emotions they trigger in you.

Burnout, rescue fantasies, sudden rage and boundary confusion are all part of countertransference--the great occupational hazard of this profession. The conventional wisdom is that the best way to address countertransference is to work on your own family of origin issues with a colleague or a supervisor.

  • How you can identify and deal with the distortions and emotionality that lead to losing perspective on what a client needs.
  • How your emotions can become activated by a client's emotional issues and how to restore your therapeutic perspective.
  • A language for discussing countertransference issues that can enable you to address them right in the therapy session.

Session 1:

  • An introduction to the Internal Family Systems Model and its view of the therapeutic relationship
  • The nature of the Self, of parts, and a map of how internal systems are organized
  • The importance of your relationship with clients in IFS and how that relationship is different from other therapies

Session 2:

  • Qualities of Therapists that Foster Healing and Parts of Therapists that Interfere
  • Exploring qualities like patience, persistence, perspective and presence
  • The 8 C's of Self leadership
  • The effect that your protective parts have on your clients
  • Common therapist parts that interfere

Session 3:

  • Getting to Know Your Parts that are Triggered by Certain Clients
  • Finding and getting to know the parts of you that come up with certain clients
  • How to make a repair with clients and use the disconnect to foster healing
  • Creating boundaries from your Self rather than your parts

Session 4:

  • How to Help Your Parts Trust Your Self to be with Clients
  • Exercises for getting your parts to step back during sessions and trust your Self

Session 5:

  • Developing a Good Self and Parts Detector to Take with You

Richard C. Schwartz, PhD's Profile

Richard C. Schwartz, PhD Related seminars and products

IFS Institute


Richard Schwartz began his career as a family therapist and an academic at the University of Illinois at Chicago. There he discovered that family therapy alone did not achieve full symptom relief, and in asking patients why, he learned that they were plagued by what they called "parts." These patients became his teachers as they described how their parts formed networks of inner relationship that resembled the families he had been working with. He also found that as they focused on and, thereby, separated from their parts, they would shift into a state characterized by qualities like curiosity, calm, confidence and compassion. He called that inner essence the Self and was amazed to find it even in severely diagnosed and traumatized patients. From these explorations, the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model was born in the early 1980s.

IFS is now evidence-based and has become a widely-used form of psychotherapy, particularly with trauma. It provides a non-pathologizing, optimistic, and empowering perspective and a practical and effective set of techniques for working with individuals, couples, families, and more recently, corporations and classrooms.

In 2013, Schwartz left the Chicago area and now lives in Brookline, MA where he is on the faculty of the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
