Internal Family Systems
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a transformative tool that conceives that every human being is a system of protective and wounded inner parts led by a core Self. Just like members of a family, inner parts are forced from their valuable states to extreme roles within us.
In this experiential group intended solely for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), you will be led by your facilitator, Jennifer A. McPherson, to learn about the IFS model, to learn about your parts, how to build a better relationship with them, and experience transformational healing
This group is open to residents in the States of Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Florida that are 18 years of age or older.
To maintain the integrity and safety of healing spaces for BIPOC individuals, we kindly ask that non-BIPOC individuals refrain from signing up for this group.
To sign up, please email us at admin@mcphersonccs.com.
