Introduction to Somatic IFS: An Embodied Approach to Healing Trauma

Susan McConnell and Dick Schwartz

In this learning program, Susan McConnell, the developer of Somatic IFS, teaches five key somatic practices that she has integrated into the IFS model. You’ll learn about awareness, breath, resonance, movement, and attuned touch. You’ll leave this program with skills that will guide your work helping clients heal from trauma.

This learning program was held live in Fall 2022. You can now access a recorded version of the program and learn at any time, at your own pace. During each module, you’ll first watch a teaching video with Susan McConnell which includes experiential exercises. Then you’ll learn from IFS Founder Dick Schwartz, either by reviewing video demos of his work with clients or by watching as he provides case consultations. Finally, at the end of each module, you’ll watch a recording of Susan’s live event in which she answered learners’ questions.

An IFSI Certificate of Completion will be available upon completion of this program. Your completion status will be tracked automatically as you progress through the program modules. Once you have completed all program modules, and watched all videos in their entirety, you will receive a Certificate that acknowledges you have received 14 IFS Credits for completing this program. Professional continuing education credits are not currently available for this learning program.
