IFS Intensive Therapy
Trauma-focused Parts Work Intensive
In-person in San Francisco Bay Area | Telehealth in CA, WA, & FL
Sometimes, 50-minute sessions just aren’t enough to truly go deep. Our IFS (Internal Family Systems) trauma intensives offer a safe, extended space to explore your inner world, connect with exiled parts, and unburden the wounds you've carried for years.
Rooted in compassion and curiosity, these sessions help you move beyond surface-level coping and into meaningful healing — at your pace, in your language, with your story at the center.
This isn’t about fixing you — it’s about returning to the parts of you that have been waiting to be heard.
IFS Trauma Processing Intensive [4-hour]
For When You’re Tired of Just Surviving
Before therapy, you feel overwhelmed — not just by your schedule, but by your emotions. You keep repeating the same patterns, getting triggered by things that shouldn’t hit so hard. You’ve read the books, journaled, even done weekly therapy sessions — but still feel stuck in a loop you can’t talk your way out of.
You’re exhausted from carrying so much. You’re tired of feeling like healing is always “in progress” but never quite arriving.
And a part of you wonders: What if I could finally get to the root?
That’s where IFS Trauma Intensives come in.
Why an Intensive?
Traditional 50-minute sessions can be powerful — but they’re often just enough time to open something up... only to put it back in the box.
In contrast, a half-day (4-hour) IFS intensive allows you to gently and safely drop beneath the surface.
To linger with your parts — not rush them. To connect with your inner system with depth, curiosity, and compassion — without the pressure of watching the clock.
IFS intensives are especially helpful if you:
Feel stuck or plateaued in weekly therapy
Are carrying complex trauma, attachment wounds, or chronic emotional pain
Want to go deeper, faster — without bypassing safety or integration
Are preparing for or processing a major life transition, loss, or rupture
Long to connect with parts of you that have been exiled, shamed, or silenced
What to Expect During a Half-Day IFS Intensive
In this 4-hour session, we’ll move at the pace of your nervous system — never rushing, always honoring what your system is ready for.
Your intensive may include:
Deep mapping of your internal system (parts that protect, parts that carry pain) - 60 minutes
Unburdening work with exiles who carry shame, grief, fear, or trauma - 90 minutes
Somatic awareness and co-regulation tools to ground and support emotional processing - 60 minutes
Time to slow down, stay with emotions, and create integration — 30 minutes
Unlike crisis-based or solution-focused models, this space is about reclaiming your relationship with yourself — with presence, depth, and healing intention.
How You May Feel After
Clients often leave intensives saying:
“I got more clarity and release in four hours than I’ve had in six months of weekly therapy.”
“I didn’t just understand my trauma — I actually felt it move.”
“For the first time, I feel like I can be with myself without panic or shame.”
You may walk away with:
A felt sense of self-compassion and clarity
Emotional relief from long-held burdens or loops
New language and insight into your internal system
Integration plans and grounding tools to support you after the intensive
A deeper relationship with your parts — and your Self
This is work that stays with you — not in a heavy way, but in a homecoming kind of way.
💬 You Don’t Have to Wait Years to Feel Better
Healing doesn’t have to take forever. When you’re ready — and when the space is safe — your system opens up for healing. IFS trauma intensives offer you the time, safety, and support to do just that. Not just talk about your pain — but to change your relationship with it.
