Prerequisite
Registrants for IFS-Informed EMDR must have
completed EMDR basic training and have
familiarity with the IFS model either
through workshop or retreat experience.
This workshop does not provide training in either model. It assumes participants have knowledge of both. Reading IFS doesn't quite do it sometimes. There is a process aspect to it, and experiential, video, or demo exposure gets that across in a way that reading does not. If you do not meet this requirement, use the time before the workshop to meet the IFS prerequisite.
My experience has shown that participants with minimal IFS experience struggle to integrate the material, especially in practice exercises. If you haven't already begun to use IFS principles in your practice, you will not optimally benefit from the workshop.

Description
Expand your perspective, forge new connections, integrate these two models in creative new ways. Many EMDR practitioners have found that, very quickly, we find ourselves dealing with ego states, resistance, overwhelm and difficulties establishing target states and maintaining effective dual attention.
Francine Shapiro understood this early on and supplemented the Standard Protocol with the Cognitive Interweave. Others have since suggested numerous interweaves and supplementary or alternative protocols, as well as Resource Development and Installation (RDI).
Internal Family Systems, a systemic ego state model, when superimposed on the EMDR process provides an illuminating map of the process and serves as a guide in selecting the appropriate interweaves or interventions at critical points throughout the EMDR standard protocol.
Participants will learn that functional Dual Attention requires Self-Presence and the co-presence or activation of a Target Part in relationship to the Self. This workshop promotes the view that many problems commonly encountered in the EMDR can be averted by recognizing this principle and applying simple practices taught here.
This workshop presents a specific view of ego states in the context of EMDR therapy & proposes additional practical scales besides SUD & VOC for measuring their properties, as well as elaborating useful ways of obtaining target elements in the assessment phase, by superimposing IFS concepts upon the standard protocol.
While adhering to the standard definition of EMDR the workshop compares IFS concepts to those used in EMDR and provides IFS-trained EMDR therapists with additional perspective with regard to the appearance of ego states, defenses, and relational phenomena, which transpire particularly in the course of phases 3 and 4.
Program Outline
- Defining Dual Attention: Energy, Ego States, Self & the Protective System
- Measuring the Energy: EMDR & IFS Scales
- Optimizing Target Conditions: IFS-Informed Assessment Phase
Course Objectives
After completing this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Name one advantageous aspect of the IFS concept of Self that is not explicitly included in EMDR’s Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) system.
- Explain the relationship between functional Dual Attention and Self-Presence.
- Describe the concept of energy as it applies to Protective Parts and how this can be measured and processed within EMDR.
- Describe the concept of energy as it applies to qualities of Self and how these can be measured and installed as a resource within EMDR.
- Name at least one way that IFS language can used in obtaining a PC or VOC.
