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. Learn the model whole: its vocabulary, its arc, its underlying philosophy. Build your foundation here and develop confidence before you bring it to others.

HOW TO WORK WITH ME

Live Courses

Small, safe online groups. A series of courses for therapists, coaches, and healing arts practitioners learning IFS from the ground up. Designed to make the model feel natural and familiar. Learn dialogically: when you engage your own system, the protocols take root.

Free Gifts

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.

Coaching

45- or 75-minute sessions for therapists, coaches, and healing arts practitioners — beginners and seasoned practitioners alike. Come to get oriented, refresh skills, or deepen into the flow. Wherever you are in the learning curve, I'll meet you there.

ABOUT RENNIE

I know this from the inside

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.
