VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
Stepping into your Wise Parent
Parallel Process x IFS (Internal Family Systems)
Saturday, November 14
12-4 pm EST • 9 am-1 pm PST
Are you struggling with your tween, teen or young adult and feel as though you are stuck in a pattern you’re not sure how to shift?
Is your teen acting out in painful or triggering ways?
Are you wondering how you may be contributing to the relational dynamic?
Are you worried about your child's mental or emotional health?
We love our children deeply. We yearn to give them everything we wish we’d had. Yet we often find ourselves stuck in the very cycles we work to prevent.
Groundbreaking research now informs us that emotional wounds can be passed down through generations. We call these inherited wounds, Legacy Burdens. Sometimes we can replay patterns from our parents but more often we over-correct from the place of our own wounding that has nothing to do with the child in front of us, it has to do with our unresolved pain.
Whether it is burdens from multiple generations or just from our own childhood experience, these legacy burdens take root in our parenting, invade our interactions with our kids, and trap us in a cycle of relating from our wounds rather than our wisdom.
When parents do the inner-work and connect with and nurture their internal parts they are less likely to act out their parts in their parenting with their kids.
Join the creator of The Parallel Process, Krissy Pozatek, MSW, and IFS therapist, Kelly McCann, Ph.D. in this 4-hour workshop.
Learn how legacy burdens impact your parenting and contribute to patterns of enmeshment, develop skills to heal legacy burdens and un-enmesh, discover your wise parent within, and embody wise parenting using expert strategies from The Parallel Process.
In this workshop, we will be coaching parents to Step into Your Wise Parent through IFS guided meditations. Parents will:
Identify in your parenting the part that is getting activated
Connect with that part where it is afraid, and build a relationship
Practice Unblending: experience your body as distinct from the part that gets triggered
Find your wise parent – feel the difference between wise parent verses, parenting from a wounded part.
Identify legacy burdens – inherited burdens you may be carrying
Discover legacy gifts
Integrate Wise Parent and Parallel Process Skills
