Ted Riskin, LCSW

“This training is an excellent introduction to IFS. I walked away with a solid foundation of the model to integrate into my practice. Ted and Harry were very knowledgeable about the model, and gifted group facilitators. The training space was beautiful and comfortable. If they offered another level, I'd sign up in a heartbeat. Very worthwhile.”

“This has been a wonderful opportunity to learn the IFS model... The quality of the training, the knowledge and compassion of the trainers, and the opportunities to get to know each other and practice using the model were excellent.”

“The IFS training ... was an amazing experience! I love the model and I now incorporate this work in my practice every day. The training provided a perfect balance between didactic learning, group sharing and practice experience. The trainers created a safe and open space for all and the venue is magical. So happy that I had the opportunity to be a part of this experience.”

“I would highly recommend this training as an introduction to IFS! The spacing and pacing of the training allowed for more easeful integration of the model, chance to practice approach with clients in between modules, and then come back together to go over questions that arose. It is obvious that both Ted and Harry have a wide breadth of experience working within the IFS model. They were knowledgeable and also extremely heart based with their teaching styles. The authenticity and presence they provided led to this being a stellar training all around.”

“[They] do an incredible job of creating a safe learning environment. The Essentials of IFS is a truly transformational course for those who want to begin to integrate parts work into their practice.”

“The amount of support and practice I received in this training was phenomenal!”

“This training provided me an excellent foundation in IFS and changed my perspective on my work with clients. The model, as conveyed by the trainers, is incredibly kind and supportive of growth.”

From the Online Version:

“I found this work accepting of all human emotion and experience. Giving voice to all aspects of a person is a tremendous way to heal wounded parts. It is an empowering way to work with clients that have a desire to heal but have been stuck and don't even know why. This training gave all the fundamentals and practice in the IFS model. It was warm, friendly and full of SELF energy each and every step of the way. I highly recommend it! ”

“This IFS training has been a life changing experience for me as a professional hypnotherapist and as a person who is still clearing old emotions and beliefs from my own system. Parts work is one of my favorite modalities to use with clients and IFS is like parts on steroids. You will be able to help your client (and yourself) identify, develop, and strengthen their own innate healer (SELF) who ultimately orchestrates resolution/healing between inner parts who have outgrown their roles as protector, firefighter, and/or exile.”

“This was a wonderful introduction to the principles of IFS. Ted and Harry bring great wisdom and heart to this work. The combination of teaching, practice time, and personal connection (through sharing) allowed for our class to learn the foundations of IFS and develop a genuinely caring community in our small class. ”
