Program Overview
This experiential, trauma-informed CEU workshop explores the integration of Internal Family Systems (IFS), intergenerational trauma, and spiritual identity in culturally responsive clinical practice. Designed for therapists, counselors, and healing professionals, the training offers structured tools for supporting clients in identifying and addressing legacy burdens—inherited emotional, behavioral, and spiritual patterns that shape internal systems and presenting concerns.
Participants will learn to apply IFS concepts such as parts mapping, protectors, and exiles in the context of spiritual and ancestral exploration. Clinical tools such as genograms, timelines, and imagery-based decks (e.g., tarot or oracle cards) will be introduced as visual aids to support the externalization and organization of family dynamics, spiritual identity, and intergenerational roles.
The workshop also includes a legacy-informed history-taking process with adaptations for clients who have limited or disrupted access to family narratives due to adoption, migration, or systemic trauma. Through a combination of lecture, demonstration, discussion, and guided practice, participants will gain practical tools and ethical strategies for engaging intergenerational trauma in a grounded, client-centered way.
