Description
Makes Parts Work Immediately Usable for any Clinician – No Prior Training or Rigid Protocol Requirements
So many clients live with internal conflicts that never show up neatly in a treatment plan.
One part shuts down. Another part apologizes for having needs. Others explode or demand perfection.
None of them are wrong – they’re doing exactly what they learned to do: survive.
But these parts aren’t working together.
And if you’re not equipped to help clients navigate their complex internal world, you’ll keep chasing symptoms instead of healing the system that drives them.
That’s why we put together this intensive training with Chase Counts, LPC-S.
In just 2 days, he’ll give you a structured framework and complete set of clinical tools …
… so you can cultivate greater emotion regulation, self-compassion, and internal awareness as you lead clients toward long-term healing.
And since this training draws from top parts work approaches like Ego State Therapy, IFS and Inner Child-oriented models – but isn’t model specific …
… what you’ll learn is instantly usable for any clinician – no prior training or rigid protocol requirements.
You’ll leave this training with comprehensive training on how to:
- Construct a parts-oriented case conceptualization
- Identify protective, wounded, and adaptive parts
- Safely stabilize clients and assess readiness before engaging in deeper work
- Facilitate structured internal dialogue that promotes emotional regulation, reduces shame and self-criticism, and cultivates self-compassion
Whether you’re a newer practitioner or a seasoned pro wanting to brush up on proven approaches, this training is sure to build your skill and confidence.
So don’t wait.
