Overview
Ever find yourself navigating the complexities of attachment trauma and wishing for a comprehensive, non-pathologizing, and evidence-based psychotherapy model? The Internal Family Systems (IFS) Model of Psychotherapy provides a detailed framework that encapsulates the various states of both children and caregivers, with the goal of aiding the healing process. In this workshop, you'll delve into the foundational assumptions and intricate processes driving the IFS Model. You'll also learn to effectively incorporate art, play, bibliotherapeutic, and sand-tray strategies to support children healing from attachment trauma. Designed specifically for experienced psychologists, this multifaceted workshop offers a blend of critical theory and hands-on application. Dr. Ehrmann guides you through the crucial steps of assessing caregivers of traumatized children and offers proven protocols that assist parents in their child's healing journey. There's a special focus on transitioning from assessment to therapeutic intervention, facilitated by an integrated timeline protocol that links traumatic events in a child's life to distinct ego states (parts) that have formed in response. You'll receive session material demonstrating the healing process, plus exclusive access to protocol handouts, worksheets, and two comprehensive workbooks designed for children and their caregivers. These invaluable resources will aid in understanding and navigating the complexities of attachment and trauma issues within the scope of IFS individual and family therapy.

About the expert
Dr. Lois Ehrmann received her PhD from the Pennsylvania State University. Her research focus was on the treatment needs of maltreated children and their families. In 2008, she developed an outpatient trauma center and in 2009, the Individual and Family CHOICES Program opened its doors to clients of all ages and professionals who wanted to get training in cutting edge empirically supported models of therapy. Services offered in the program were the following: trauma reduction treatment (EMDR, IFS, Neurofeedback, Somatic therapies), bottom up interventions (Art, Play, Sand tray) and family therapy (Attachment Focused, Systemic Family). In 2021, she retired from direct care and now she does consultation, trainings on trauma reduction and resolution.
