Develop a new relationship with yourself using Ann Weiser Cornell and Barbara McGavin’s IRF approach in this 5 week course.
Why Inner Relationship Focusing?
Inner Relationship Focusing (IRF) is a refined and expanded form of Focusing developed by Ann Weiser Cornell and Barbara McGavin. It works with ‘parts’ as well as felt senses. Parts can often be in conflict with one another, or hidden from us, and IRF offers an approach of working with these in an educated and compassionate way that can lead to new shifts. It is quite similar to Internal Family Systems as you progress through the levels.
What are the benefits of this course?
- You become skilled at ‘troubleshooting’ your own process.
- Your understanding of the power of self-acceptance deepens.
- You learn more prompts to build internal safety.
- You learn how to deal with your own overwhelm.
- You work with any inability to feel what’s here.
- You move towards professional qualifications.
- You become more skilled at Companioning.
What will you learn in IRF Level 3?
- An overview of the stages of IRF, with relevant prompts: This helps greatly in knowing what might help at each stage.
- How to work with overwhelm, both yours and that of a Companion.
- How to work with ‘distant process’ focusers (people who find it hard to feel what’s here).
- Deepening your empathy for parts, which deepens your process.
- Openings and Closings: Enhancing how you start and end a Focusing session so that you can get the most out of your time.
- The Companion role becomes far more substantial. You learn how to offer suggestions (if requested). This also helps your own process.
How will you do this?
- Skills are broken down into weekly bite-size chunks.
- There are worksheets with each exercise.
- You will watch demos of Focusers rehearsing that weekly exercise.
- You will Focus in class and outside class with a partner each week.
- Time for Q&A, discussion and sharing.
- There are prescribed readings from the class textbook.
