WORKING WITH PARTS & PROCESS: MODULE 1: WORKING WITH OURSELVES WITH COMPASSION AND INCLUSION
For some time now we’ve been bringing ‘Internal Family Systems’ into our coaching practice. It’s a way of understanding people that proposes that we’re never just ‘one thing’ but constituted as a system, or ‘family’, of inner parts that are in relationship with one another and the world. As well as the many parts of us (some of which are protector parts, some of which are ‘exiled’ parts carrying both burdens and gifts) the model proposes an enduring Essential Self - wide, deep, compassionate, present - which can attend to the parts, support them and, when called for, lead the family of parts in skilful ways.
The approach has an enormous degree of explanatory power - how we get stuck, how we might compassionately liberate the gifts we could bring - and it opens up new ways of understanding development (in the 10 ways), personality (as in the 3 Panels, Enneagram), and the ‘essential self’ with the many qualities and virtues that we can bring into the world. And, in combination with ‘Focusing’ (a way of working with the moment-to-moment unfolding of the rich and complex systems that we are), it also lends itself very pragmatically to working sensitively and powerfully with the unfolding process of our clients. It’s a wonderful and coherent adjunct to the skills of coaching you’ll have learned in the PCC.
We intend that you leave the first module with
powerful new distinctions and practices that can help you begin to work skilfully and compassionately with your own inner family systems
ways to further develop your sensitivity, care and creativity in working with yourself that can form the foundation for working with others.
Fees for Module 1:
We are developing models for fees that can themselves be as inclusive as possible. We want to make our work increasingly available to everyone. To support this we’re offering three different choices for fees for this module:
Attender - the standard course fee of £700 (+ UK VAT if applicable)
Supporter - an opportunity to make it possible for others to join us. You pay a course fee of £700 (+ UK VAT if applicable) + a donation towards someone else’s place. We suggest a donation of £300 but you can choose to donate less or more as your resources allow
Supported - a reduced course fee of £300 (+ UK VAT if applicable)
If these fees don’t work for you, please speak to us. We are committed to finding ways to have our offerings be as inclusive as we can.
