Jeanne Catanzaro, PhD will lead an Intensive alongside Richard C. Schwartz, PhD during Wisdom & Wellbeing Week 7 | February 22 – March 1, 2025 on the following topic:

Trauma and Releasing Personal & Legacy Burdens: IFS Model

This in-depth workshop will provide a brief review of the basics of the IFS model by Richard Schwartz, PhD, who developed the model, then will focus in detail on its use with attachment and trauma. IFS is a non-pathologizing, hopeful framework within which to practice psychotherapy now certified as an evidence-based practice by SAMHSA. IFS offers both a conceptual umbrella under which a variety of practices and different approaches can be grounded and guided, and a set of original techniques for creating safety and fostering Self-to-Self connection in individuals, couples and families.
​
The workshop will focus on helping clients release personal burdens related to traumatic experiences in their lives. An overview of the clinical applications of IFS in trauma work will be presented. You will learn through didactic teaching, interactive dialogue, demonstration and live interviews.

Enjoy a rich schedule with classes during the day and head to the beach in your free time.
