In the IFS Consultation Collective, we don’t pretend therapists are neutral in the healing process.

Your reactions matter.
Your uncertainty matters.
Your grief, humor, vigilance, and humanity matter.

That’s why our consultation groups make room for:
• the therapist’s inner world
• real-time clinical learning
• honest reflection without shame

Because when you are supported, your clients feel it.
Join us for weekly consultation that’s grounded, relational, and deeply human.

People are complex and so is the IFS model. Consultation with us supports you and your clients, and all the parts that show up.

Inside the IFS Consultation Collective, you’ll find:
• thoughtful clinical dialogue
• space for real life to show up
• skilled facilitation that holds both structure and authenticity

From wherever you’re joining—your office, your kitchen, your in-between moments—you don’t have to do this work alone.

Behind the clinical wisdom and grounded presence is a whole family celebrating together. 💛

Here’s Paul Ginter with his family after his daughter’s dance performance—a moment that captures what so much of our work is really about: connection, support, creativity and being present for what matters.

At the IFS Consultation Collective, we honor the whole humans behind the work, because the capacity to hold others with care is shaped in the places where love is lived and practiced every day.

Some protectors aren’t conflicted.
They’re convinced.

In a recent case presentation, a dissociative part said clearly:
“This is necessary. This is safer.”

What helped it shift wasn’t persuasion — it was relationship.

IFS consultation helps therapists:
• Track when many parts are blended
• Avoid getting polarized with clients
• Learn new ways to phrase IFS interventions

Expert clinical discernment and support is available every week at the IFS Consultation Collective.

Consultation isn’t about having the “right answer.”

It’s about having a place to slow down, stay curious, and noticing what gets activated in you while you’re attuning to clients.

The IFS Consultation Collective offers therapists a supportive space to:
• Tend to their own parts in the company of trusted peers and advisers
• Think clinically without judgment or demands
• Embody Self energy while tracking complexity

Self-energy can look like slowing down enough to enjoy your pasta at your favorite local Italian restaurant.

Looking forward to learning from IFS Lead Trainer (and pasta fan) Elizabeth Taeubert this Tuesday in group consultation.

When a client says, “I can’t feel compassion,” that’s not resistance—it’s a protector doing its job.

The work isn’t pushing “more compassion.” It’s getting curious about what feels unsafe to allow compassion.

Rituals help bring what’s abstract into meaningful form. As winter and the new year take hold, Mariel Pastor likes to gather herSelf and parts together to set intentions and to burn them into ash and earth. What might your parts want to help you fulfill, or transform? How might the big Self energy all around be incorporated? Let us know below...

As we begin the New Year, we’re reflecting on the importance of sustainable clinical practice, high-quality consultation, and supportive professional community.

Happy New Year to our community 💫

We’re deeply grateful for the honesty, courage, and care that our members bring into our shared spaces of learning and growth.

Here’s to another year of:
• thoughtful consultation
• brave clinical questions
• and expanding our capacity to stay present — with clients and ourselves

We’re so grateful to be a part of the IFS community.

When a client shuts down, dissociates, or goes blank, many therapists panic or blame themselves.
But in IFS, this moment is information.

Mariel reframes it beautifully:
💛 Dissociation = “That was too much, too fast.”
💛 Protectors are signaling for safety, pacing, and collaboration.
💛 Our job is to listen to the fear, not push past it.

Slowing down isn’t losing momentum. It’s earning trust.

This is the heart of IFS-Informed practice—and why consultation matters so much.
