SUMMARY:🆕 BRAND-NEW! Introduction to Inner Child Work 🆕
DESCRIPTION:Brand-New!\nIntroduction to Inner Child Work\nPresented by: Dreya Blume\, LCSW\nWhen: Monday\, October 12th\, 2026 | 9:00 am – 12:00 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 3 CEs  | $90.00\nContinuing Education Workshop Description:\nThe inner child represents the vulnerable\, creative\, and often wounded parts of ourselves shaped by early experiences. \nThis continuing education workshop introduces psychotherapists to the fundamentals of inner child work\, exploring how early relational patterns\, unmet needs\, and childhood experiences influence adult emotions\, behaviors\, and relationships. Participants will learn how to recognize signs of inner child wounds and understand their impact on clients’ current functioning. \nAttendees will explore practical strategies to help clients connect with\, nurture\, and heal their inner child. Therapists will leave with tools to integrate inner child work into therapy\, fostering self-compassion\, resilience\, and emotional integration for lasting growth and transformation. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives:\n\nDevelop an understanding of the concept of the inner child and its influence on adult emotions\, behaviors\, and relationships.\nLearn strategies to help clients recognize\, connect with\, and nurture their inner child.\nIdentify interventions to support emotional integration\, self-compassion\, and healing through inner child work.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Reaching the Inner Child: Using Brain-based Internal Family Systems Therapy to Treat Trauma and Personality Disorders
DESCRIPTION:Reaching the Inner Child: Using Integrated\, Brain-based Internal Family Systems Therapy to Treat Trauma and Personality Disorders\nPresented by: Hannah Smith\, MA\, LMHC\, CGP\nWhen: Thursday\, November 5th\, 2026 | 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM\n\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 6 CEs | $190.00 \nContinuing Education Workshop Description:\nModern neuroscience has provided us with valuable and targeted information to help in understanding and healing the traumatized brain\, including those with severe developmental trauma who later end up with “personality disorder” diagnoses. \nUnfortunately\, much of this valuable information remains abstract and out of reach to those doing the actual work of trauma treatment. \nThis workshop will address these issues by combining insights from neuroscience with an evidence-based treatment approach known as Internal Family Systems. \nInternal Family Systems is a treatment modality created in the 1980s by Dr. Richard C. Schwartz. Trained as a couples and family therapist\, Dr. Schwartz realized the same dynamics he found in family systems also presented within individuals. His work reveals the brain’s natural ability to create different parts\, known as Managers\, Firefighters\, and Exiles\, to protect the core\, undamaged self. His theory is non-pathologizing\, allowing us to see “diagnoses” as “strategies” and recognizing the protective nature of the “Internal Family.” Using modern brain science and these well-established concepts\, we can isolate and treat the “Inner Child” – those parts that carry traumatic memory – more effectively. \nIn this dynamic\, experiential session\, you will learn the underlying framework of Internal Family Systems from both traditional and neuroscience-informed perspectives\, allowing for greater understanding of yourself and your client and providing higher precision in therapeutic work. By applying narrative and imagery-based techniques in real time\, you will incorporate what is known about brain processing into your work\, enabling you to reach “the Inner Child” more efficiently and safely. Attendees will grow in their practical understanding and application of neuroscience to help reduce shame\, increase client engagement\, improve outcomes\, and – as an added bonus – reduce clinician burnout! \nCONTINUING EDUCATION WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES: \n• Consider Internal Family Systems (IFS) structure and techniques from both traditional and neuroscience-informed perspectives\n• Apply a non-pathologizing treatment model to reduce shame and increase client ability to grow and change.\n• Use “Externalization of Parts” and other somatic\, imagery- and analogy-based techniques to develop the concept of the “Inner Child” to promote experiences that create new neural connections that lead to lasting change and healing\n• Learn techniques to teach internal communication and self-compassion and define and measure success in more effective ways\n• Communicate modern neuroscience principles of neuroplasticity\, mentalization\, and somatic responding as they relate to IFS and the “Inner Child” in a user-friendly manner\n• Apply newly learned skills in real-time to build competency and confidence as a practitioner \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n
