In this 3.5 hour workshop Bruce shares various perspectives and tools to help you master Implicit Direct Access so that you can feel confident working with your client’s blended parts. You will learn that Direct Access is not just ‘regular talk therapy’ until you can do IFS, nor is it a less productive alternative to InSight. You may even realize that leaning into Direct Access can sometimes, paradoxically, be more powerful than any other IFS method you know.
It consists of a PowerPoint slide presentation with plenty of discussion with the live audience, two video demonstrations (role-plays with therapists-in-consultation playing their client blended with a part) and discussion of the video demonstrations. There is also a spontaneous live demonstration with a workshop participant who is blended with a part and discussing a case that activates this therapist part. During this piece, Bruce effectively demonstrates the approach he is teaching.
