A full day of talks exploring the most effective approaches for working with, healing, and reintegrating parts.
We’ve all grown up in the mono-mind paradigm.
This assumes that each of us has one unitary mind, out of which our thoughts and feelings emerge.
Recent developments in neuroscience, as well as the growing evidence base for “parts-based” psychotherapies such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) are showing that not only is the mono-mind paradigm scientifically inaccurate, it’s also harmful to our mental health.
It leads to the sensation of feeling like we are the “controller” of our experiences, often causing internal conflict, as well as guilt, shame, and self-criticism when we are unable to live up to the demands of our inner drill sergeant.
In actuality, the brain isn’t one thing.
Rather, it’s made up of many structures that communicate with each other through neural networks.
What we commonly think of personality “disorders” then, are not a result of a unitary mind “shattering” into multiple fragments as is commonly assumed. Instead, individuals with diagnoses such as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) are very much like the rest of us, with the only difference being that they’ve experienced such significant trauma, that their “parts” get dissociated and disconnected from the rest of the system.
Therefore, a key ingredient in psychological health is being able to lead and manage the many different parts that exist within us, so that we can create a state of internal harmony and coherence between them. In short, we need to learn how to treat our many different selves in just the same way that a loving parent would treat their children.
So, in this conference, we’ll explore some of the most effective approaches for working with, healing, and reintegrating parts, including:
— Internal Family Systems: Healing Trauma & Restoring Wholeness - Dr Richard Schwartz, PhD ( via live video feed)
— Compassion Focused Therapy & Parts - Dr Kate Lucre, PhD
— Dialectical Behaviour Therapy & Personality Disorders - Dr Janet Feigenbaum
You’ll learn how these insights can improve your own relationship with your parts, and also how to help others do the same.
