SOMATIC INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS
Join us for an 8-week therapeutic group exploring Somatic Internal Family Systems (IFS), where you'll learn how to gently connect with and tend to your internal "parts" through body-based awareness. This group combines IFS concepts with somatic practices to support nervous system regulation, emotional insight, and compassionate self-leadership. Participants will explore the roles of protector, manager, and exiled parts, while learning to deepen connection to their inner Self through grounding, movement, breath, and guided visualization.
​
Prerequisite: Completion of the Somatic Experiencing & DBT Group is required to enroll in our advanced Deeper Dive into Somatic Parts Work series. This ensures a foundational understanding of somatic tools and emotional regulation skills before moving into more intensive personal work.
Open to individuals seeking mind-body integration, trauma healing, and inner harmony. No prior IFS experience necessary—just a willingness to explore with curiosity and care.
