A Thousand Paths—IFS/Inner Parts Workshops & Life Coaching Sessions

A Thousand Paths—IFS/Inner Parts Workshops & Life Coaching Sessions A Thousand Paths offers inner "parts" and Self workshops in the Chicago area, and private life coach "A part of me wanted to try a courageous new thing!

How many times have you had difficulty doing something because one part of you wanted one thing, but another part of you wanted something else? "A part of me wanted to speak up...but another part wouldn't let me." "A part of me wanted to paint /write /practice /meditate /create...but another part of me surfed the internet /got nervous/ cleaned the house instead." but another part of me was too afr

aid to take the risk." The bottom line is: we’ve all got ‘parts.’ The IFS (Internal Family Systems) method simply expands on this normal ‘parts’ way of thinking. IFS explains why your parts get into conflict, and how you can work with them more effectively, by working with them directly. A Thousand Paths offers individual holistic life coaching sessions using IFS 'parts' work, as well as introductory and experiential inner parts workshops in the Chicago area.

Facilitating Parts’ Conversation
Sunday April 12 • 2:30-4:30 pm CT

Join this very intimate, 5-person experiential IFS workshop to explore ways to facilitate meaningful conversation with your parts! �
In this experiential class, you will learn how to facilitate meaningful conversations between your parts.
�Rather than only relating to parts from Self, we’ll practice helping parts get their points across to other parts in ways that increase understanding, reduce polarization, and create more internal cooperation.�
Sometimes this means mediating between polarized managers and firefighters.��Sometimes it means helping more extreme managers listen to less extreme ones.��Sometimes it means supporting protectors to set aside their fears and truly LISTEN to the exiles. �
Wherever there is internal tension, there is usually an unfinished conversation.�
This class will teach practical methods for slowing down inner conflict, clarifying each part’s concerns, and supporting parts in negotiating new ways of working together.�
You will leave with concrete skills you can use in real time. �
Whatever inner conversation is trying to happen, this class is designed to help you make space for it.
