Description
A step-by-step training on how to safely access and work with the parts your clients exiled in order to survive.
- Why the parts your clients suppress may hold the key to moving them toward healing
- Tools to map how protectors and exiles interact – and where to intervene
- Strategies to engage vulnerable, hidden parts
- Somatic techniques to help regulate clients during deep trauma work
To survive, your clients became who they needed to be. The strong one. The people-pleaser. The self-sufficient one.
And they hid the parts of themselves that felt vulnerable, needy, afraid, angry, or abandoned.
Jung called these parts the shadow. IFS calls them exiles. Whatever the language – when you work from a parts work lens you want to help clients turn inward, face those disowned parts, and bring them back into the self.
Now in this workshop one of our top parts work trainers will show you how.
In just one day Stacy Ruse, LPC will reframe the Jungian shadow concept as disconnected parts and experiences developed in response to trauma, attachment wounds and intergenerational burdens …
… then give you IFS, somatic and transpersonal therapy tools to bring clients’ hidden parts into the light and work with their shame, rage, despair, and unmet needs so they can reintegrate and restore wholeness.
PLUS with specific guidance on titration and handling tough clinical moments like flooding, shutdown and dissociation, this training sets you up to do deep, transformative shadow work safely and confidently right away.
And if you’re worried shadow work feels too abstract, symbolic, or “woo”, don’t be.
What Stacy will show you translates depth psychology into practical, step by step clinical interventions you can actually use in session.
This training is your chance to deepen your clinical skillset and help clients integrate the parts they’ve spent a lifetime hiding.
