About the event
Internal Family Systems (IFS) has come to prominence as an invaluable compliment to psychedelics therapy. It is one of the main modalities informing MAPS’ approach to MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD.
But the benefit of IFS is not limited to clinical contexts. For anyone preparing for psychedelic journeys, entering ceremonial containers, or even just wondering if psychedelics are right for them, IFS offers a tool for discernment and deeper inquiry into the intricacies of the self. It can open space for the sacred without magical thinking by helping you find a “sweet spot” between spiritual bypass and cynical skepticism.
Join us as Bill Gallagher, an IFS therapist with experience working with altered states, along with his wife Jessica Shapley, Clinical Social Worker and IFS therapist, demonstrate how to integrate IFS techniques with psychedelic work to foster inner healing, self-discovery, and personal growth.
