Summer 2024 | IFS with Children & Adolescents

While navigating the world children are exposed to experiences such as abuse, neglect, racial trauma, mass shootings, health pandemics, and natural disasters. Play is a child’s natural language. Play therapy can be utilized to create a space for the child to have the ability to express their feelings and resolve conflicts through creative therapeutic interventions, and expressive arts with the foundation of the therapeutic powers of play.

IFS therapy is an innovative and transformative model that emphasizes the natural multiplicity of the mind, and looking at the system in parts, with the assumption that there are no bad parts and parts are in roles to protect hurt and traumatized parts.

Children often cannot verbally tell their trauma stories or express their thoughts and feelings. With the combination of IFS and Play Therapy children will now have the opportunity to learn the various parts that make them who they are, express the feelings and beliefs of their parts, and gain knowledge that others have parts as well in a creative way.

Carmen will teach us the therapeutic powers of play; facilitate communication, foster emotional wellness, enhance social relationships, and increase personal strengths utilizing the steps of the IFS model.
