Course Feedback & Testimonials: What aspects of the program were most valuable to you as a provider?

- “As she was talking, I ordered the books to learn more. I understand that this is a basic overview and am excited to delve in more. I am an art therapist and counselor and see very similar aspects to Jungian therapy skills, but in a modern way. They can be melded, I think.ˮ

- “Learning about the parts and un-blending them will add a new dynamic to my ART sessions.ˮ

- “I appreciated that it addressed all the aspects of IFS, which helps me understand if I want to invest in IFS training. I felt it was comprehensive enough to use some in my current practice and help inform my decision of whether or not to enroll in Level I training in the future.

- “I appreciate the discussion around transgenerational trauma and the connecting parts that may be present for our clients.ˮ

The information was simple, clear, and direct; while also allowing for a long-term period of growth to fully understand and be proficient at utilizing this material.ˮ
