Description: This will be an introductory workshop into the parts of IFS and tools for accessing the Self, which is central to the healing process of IFS. We will review how psychedelics are being paired with IFS, the clinical application of psychedelics and how IFS can be a protective factor for challenging trips. If time allows we will demonstrate the process for accessing the Self and getting permission from the protective parts of the IFS system. This workshop will be valuable to both clinicians and the general public. Your participation and questions will be warmly welcome.
