She combines the art of psychotherapy with the science of change to help people identify and break out of patterned thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck. She is a certified IFS clinician and LFY practitioner. In her 17 years as a tenured associate professor in the Department of Human Development’s Marriage and Family Therapy Program at Virginia Tech\, Angela taught various clinical courses including Internal Family Systems and interpersonal neurobiology. Angela \n  \nbelieves that when we are out of alignment with ourselves or with our partners\, our system (body\, mind\, spirit) lets us know. Sometimes our system uses the language of depression. Sometimes worry and anxiety. Sometimes anger or sadness. Sometimes aches and pains. Our internal system provides us feedback if we listen. The combination of IFS and LFY provide just the tools we need to slow down and tune in. \nFor more information\, see angelahuebner.com.

SUMMARY:Psychotherapy Networker Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Amy leads TWO workshops this year.\nFirst\, Explore the integration of accessible yoga exercises with Internal Family Systems (IFS) in Yoga and IFS to Clear the Constrictions: Revealing Your Soul’s Purpose. This integration of accessible yoga exercises with Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a great way to work with your over-stressed parts\, to free your Self-energy to lead you through the rest of the Symposium and your life. \nThen\, on Saturday afternoon\, she’ll present the important When Mind-Body Practices Go Wrong: How to Match Clients to the Right Methods. Have you ever had a client try a mindfulness exercise that made them more anxious\, or get emotionally flooded when you asked them to breathe deeply? If you’re applying mind–body practices like pranayama breathing\, meditation\, mudras\, or mantras in your session\, it’s important to understand which practices are best suited to which conditions\, such as depression\, anxiety\, and disassociated states\, and what effects and possible abreactions these practices can evoke. You’ll discover how to: \n\n\nApply appropriate breathing and meditation practices based on your client’s presenting mood and diagnosis\nHelp clients learn breathing\, toning\, and hand-gesture practices to self-regulate between sessions\nIncorporate simple yoga skills like adapted breathing and meditations in clinical settings\, even when clients express cultural\, religious\, or personal resistance to practicing yoga\n\n\nAmy also leads daily morning yoga classes and afternoon meditations. \nAmy Weintraub\, MFA\, ERYT-500\, C-IAYT\, YACEP\nAmy Weintraub\, founder of the LifeForce Yoga® Healing Institute and author of the bestselling Yoga for Depression (Broadway Books\, 2004) and the ground-breaking Yoga Skills for Therapists: Effective Practices for Mood Management (W.W.

If you’re applying mind-body practices like pranayama breathing\, meditation\, mudras\, or mantras in your session\, it’s important to understand which practices are best suited to which conditions\, such as depression\, anxiety\, and disassociated states\, and what effects and possible abreactions these practices can evoke.

In the process of learning Yoga practices to help clients self-regulate and increase self-compassion\, you will be giving yourself the gift of self-care. Experience for yourself the transformational power of yoga and let it be the portal to healing for you\, your loved ones\, and for those you serve to enhance your therapeutic relationships.

SUMMARY:Internal Family Systems Therapy Goes to the Mat with LifeForce Yoga®:  3 Days of Healing Body\, Mind\, Heart & Soul
DESCRIPTION:Online Registration \nWe will combine yoga practices for accessing Self energy\, meeting our parts\, with deep self-inquiry and discovery. Through yoga practices appropriate in clinical settings such as: pranayama breathing\, meditations\, mudras\, mantras\, movement\, guided imagery\, deep relaxation\, experiential exercises\, demonstrations and discussion\, participants will explore the combination of Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) and LifeForce Yoga® practices. Throughout the weekend you will experience how the integration of these two models enhances the healing process. \nNurture your parts and your whole being. You will leave feeling relaxed and energized\, confident in your ability to integrate LifeForce Yoga® skills and IFS and with new tools for self-care. This weekend is open to the general public\, yoga teachers and mental health professionals. All bodies and abilities welcome! \nRichard Schwartz\, PhD\, developer of the Internal Family Systems model\, and Amy Weintraub\, creator of LifeForce Yoga®\, are both innovators. Dr. Schwartz developed a new model of psychotherapy from curiosity when his most challenging clients did not improve. Amy Weintraub developed a school of yoga\, focused on attending to the emotional body after she experienced the transformational effect of yoga in her own life\, when she began a daily practice in 1989. Liz Brenner and Laura Orth have developed protocols and practices to integrate these models for optimal healing of individual and collective wounds. \nYoga Philosophy and Internal Family Systems therapy share the belief that all of us have a healthy\, core Self in addition to multiple states of being\, some of whom get stuck in extreme roles due to life experiences. The non-dual nature of LifeForce Yoga® melds with the Internal Family Systems approach\, welcoming all aspects of the human experience supporting the following goals: liberating parts from extreme roles that are no longer necessary\, allowing the wise Self to lead the system\, and re-harmonizing the internal family system. \nYoga is so much more than asana or postures. LifeForce Yoga® highlights practices that are accessible and adaptable for clinical settings\, yoga therapy\, and home use. Some practices are targeted to depression\, others to anxiety and trauma reactivity. \nWe will learn practices that that will help:\n \n\nAccess Self energy\nStrengthen Self-to-part relationships\nUnblend parts\nCare for parts that are not yet unburdened\nSafely tend to exiles who are not yet unburdened\n\nPlease let us know if\, in addition to attending to enhancing your life through personal growth\, you are also intending to enhance your work as a yoga teacher\, mental health or other professional. \nDates\, Times\, and Registration:\n\nFriday\, April 28\, 2017\, from 9am to 4:30pm\nSaturday\, April 29\, 2017\, from 9am to 4:30pm\nSunday\, April 30\, 2017\, from 9am to 3:15pm\nFor more information\, click HERE\nTo register\, click HERE\n\nThis weekend workshop will provide 17 CEUs.\nLimited to 50 participants. \nContinuing Education\nThis training program is co-sponsored by The Center for Self Leadership and The Institute for Continuing Education.  Continuing education contact hours are offered for the professional disciplines as listed below.
