Workshop Description:
Exiles are the parts of our inner world that have endured significant trauma, whether from single, catastrophic events or persistent patterns of abuse, neglect, and abandonment. These young, vulnerable parts often carry heavy burdens of shame, worthlessness, and the painful belief that they are unlovable. Therapists and clients alike can feel hesitant, or even fearful, to approach the deep-seated pain and traumatic memories that exiles hold. Yet, the most profound and transformative healing can often occur through connecting with these parts. In this workshop, we will explore IFS’s compassionate approach to connecting with, witnessing, healing, and unburdening these wounded and traumatized parts, offering clients a pathway to healing that honors the past while paving the way to a brighter future.
Presented by: Alexia Rothman, Ph.D.
