Description
Therapists regularly treat clients who struggle with some form of addiction, whether it be from substances, food, gambling, or sex. Unfortunately, the treatment can itself sometimes induce guilt and shame, especially when discussing the negative impact commonly associated with most addictive substances. In this session we’ll discuss IFS, a non-pathologizing treatment modality, helps clients “befriend” their addictive parts in a way that allows them to learn about their positive protective intention.
