SUMMARY:Introduction to IFS Couple Therapy: Healing Relationships with Intimacy From the Inside Out
DESCRIPTION:IFS Relationship Skills for Couple and Individual Therapy: Intimacy From the Inside Out\nFacilitated by: Toni Herbine-Blank\, MSN\, RN \nDate: May 1 & 2\, 2026 \nTime: 11:00am – 2:30pm (ET) \nLocation: Live Online via Zoom \nCurious About This Training with Toni? \nVIEW WORKSHOP HIGHLIGHTS  \n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER ONLINE \n  \nWorkshop Description \nThis workshop offers therapists a practical\, experiential framework for working with individuals and couples that helps make sense of conflict through an Internal Family Systems lens. Participants learn how to identify and work with the protective “parts” that show up between partners\, support courageous and compassionate communication\, and use the relationship itself as a pathway for healing so that sessions move beyond problem-solving into deeper connection\, repair\, and growth. \nThe model translates seamlessly into individual therapy and couples/relationship therapy by strengthening clinicians’ ability to track internal dynamics\, attachment needs\, and nervous system activation that shape clients’ relationships. Through discussion\, video demonstrations\, and guided practice\, therapists leave with concrete interventions they can apply immediately\, helping clients (both individuals and those they are relationships with) build regulation\, increase self-leadership\, and create more secure\, responsive patterns of relating. \nThis workshop is designed for all clinicians who support individuals and couples\, and is ideal for therapists seeking practical\, IFS-informed\, nervous-system-aware tools to help clients move from reactivity and disconnection toward greater regulation\, attunement\, repair\, and intimacy. \nLearning Objectives \nAt the end of this Workshop\, participants will have had the opportunity to: \n\nReview of the basic assumptions of the IFIO model.\nExplore the goals of IFS couple therapy.\nHave a discussion of cultural differences in relation to the needs of couples.\nObserve video demonstrations.\nParticipate in small breakout rooms for discussion and practice.\nLearn the power of Courageous Communication and discover how and why the ANS is significant in IFIO couple therapy.\n\nPresenter \nToni Herbine-Blank is a Senior Lead Trainer for the IFS-Institute and owner and director of the Intimacy from the Inside Out© curriculum for couple therapists. Toni teaches\, trains and offers workshops\, trainings and retreats nationally and internationally. She has co- authored two books on IFS and couple therapy\, available on Amazon.
