T1: The U-Model in Action: Combining IFS and ACT for Clinical Practice

This workshop equips participants with the skills to integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) using the innovative U-Model framework. It is designed to enhance therapeutic outcomes for a wide range of clients, including those who have experienced significant trauma, such as children in foster care. Participants will gain a deep understanding of IFS concepts like "Self" and "parts" (managers, exiles, firefighters) and learn techniques to foster a compassionate relationship with these internal parts. The workshop also covers the six core principles of ACT (acceptance, defusion, present moment, self-as-context, values, committed action) to help clients build psychological flexibility.
