FOR CLINICIANS, COACHES & HEALING ARTS PROFESSIONALS

IFS is a brilliant idea... Now inhabit its territory.

Fluency with the model starts with your own internal system — not across the couch from a client. Build your foundation here and develop confidence before you bring it to others.

Ways to learn

HOW TO WORK WITH ME

In a Small Group

Live, gentle online courses for IFS providers, practitioners, and learners. Our work is experiential, not clinical. We learn the model with ourselves as the text, nurturing our parts and learning to live from Self. We build trust as a group, so each of us can go as deep as we choose.

On Your Own

Diagrams, maps, activities, and reference guides — all free. I take big IFS concepts and shape them into something you can actually see and hold. You'll see my love of philosophy and contemplative wisdom baked right in. Use these materials yourself or share them with clients.

One to One

Private sessions for IFS providers, practitioners, and learners. Orient yourself, refresh your skills, or go deeper into the flow of the model. Wherever you are on the IFS learning curve, let's untangle the knots and work through whatever's confusing. Email me and we’ll find a time.

ABOUT RENNIE

I'm Karen Grayson, PhD, LPC. Rennie for short 

I've spent my career at the intersection of philosophy, psychotherapy, and integrative spirituality. IFS is the model that finally made everything click, for me and for the people I work with.

My teaching is dialogical — I think with people; I don't talk at them. The goal is a felt sense of the whole IFS map: the flow, the protocols, the language, how it all hangs together. We get there through courses, diagrams, handouts — and, most importantly, your own internal work, with me as a guide. Practice until it stops feeling like a model and starts feeling like home. Then you're ready to bring it to clients.
