[NASW Alaska Chapter Listserve] Announcement

[Noah Rubinstein]

Dear Colleagues,

I want to tell you about a workshop the Feeling Better Center is sponsoring
in Anchorage soon and urge you to attend.  This workshop is going to be
fantastic and we wouldn't want anyone to miss out.  We're filling up fast,
but there's still room to register.  The workshop is called "A Cutting Edge
Approach to Healing Trauma and Other Barriers to Our Well Being" and it's
presented by the developer of the Internal Family Systems Model of
Psychotherapy (IFS), Richard Schwartz, Ph.D.

Here's why you should come:

1) IFS therapy is extremely effective at healing trauma, depression,
anxiety, anger, addictions and other barriers to well being. Since its
development, the IFS model has helped clinicians from all areas of mental
and social health, and their clients, to understand and unburden the blocks
to our most precious human resource: the Self. This intuitive method helps
people separate their extreme beliefs and emotions so as to release a
healing state called the Self that we all contain. In this compassionate and
wise Self-state, people are able to transform their inner relationships with
extreme parts of them and their outer relationships with people around them.
They find that they know how to heal themselves and to relate harmoniously. 

2) IFS theory was developed by carefully listening to clients, rather than
trying to fit clients into a preconceived model, and it offers a clear,
non-pathological, and empowering understanding of human problems.

3) IFS works with individuals, couples, and families. The model has been
developed over the last 20 years and has been taught to thousands of
practitioners around the world. The IFS Model continues to grow at a rapid
pace, well beyond its mid-western origins. and is one of the fastest growing
models of therapy in use today. 
Dr. Schwartz has presented IFS material at hundreds of workshops and
conducts yearlong training programs in every region of the United States, as
well as in Canada and Europe.

4) The IFS Model offers an approach to harmonizing larger human systems like
polarized communities, corporations, and countries. 

5) This is going to be a rewarding and invigorating workshop for anyone who
does therapy, no matter what kind you do.  The IFS model is comprehensive
and merges well with other models of therapy.  

The two-day training with Richard Schwartz, PhD will be held at the
University of Alaska, Anchorage December 10 & 11, 2005

Thanks,

Noah Rubinstein, LMFT, LMHC
