IFS and consent: An intersectional and feminist practice

This zoom workshop is designed to provide an innovative and comprehensive understanding of consent within the framework of Internal Family Systems. This workshop is approved for 3 IFS CEs (for folks who are working towards certification or recertification). No other CEs will be offered.

Tasha Hunter, Ashley Gregory, and Jess Finney will use an intersectional feminist lens to invite participants to deepen their understanding of intersectional identities in order to provide a more affirming care experience for their clients. Participants will gain practical skills, self-reflective tools, and knowledge to enhance their therapeutic practice. Healing is not a one-size fits all process, and this workshop allows space to explore an ongoing, individually-tailored experience, even with a shared language of IFS. There will be didactic, large group, and small group reflection time, but no expectation to practice therapy sessions with colleagues or process your own material. 

Audience: You have completed a L1 (or more) training, IFS Fellows, QTIFS Foundations Course, IFS Intro course with Risa Adams & Marina Hazan, or Stepping Stones, and are looking to approach the model from an intersectional feminist lens, with a focus on consent.

CEs: This workshop is approved for 3 IFS CEs (for folks who are working towards certification or recertification). No other CEs will be offered.

This workshop is not affiliated with the IFS-Institute.

Your Presenters:

Tasha Hunter, MSW, LCSW (she/her) is Black, queer, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Level 3 IFS Therapist, supervisor/consultant, owner of Ascension Growth Center, PLLC. She is also an Air Force veteran, author of her memoir, "What Children Remember" and host of the podcast " When We Speak". She is passionate about speaking about childhood trauma, suicide, and collective healing and liberation. Since becoming a therapist in 2017, her experience includes working in community mental health, schools, and outpatient settings. Tasha specializes in treating Black, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ clients who are working through parental abuse/neglect, white supremacy culture, legacy burdens, life transition, grief, infertility, spiritual/religious trauma, and sexual identity.

Ashley Gregory: Hello! I'm Ashley (she/her). I also go by Ash. I believe healing ourselves, our communities, and our more-than-human world requires deep listening, embodiment, and traversing beyond “good”/”bad” binaries. My positionality as queer, white, able-bodied, cisgender female with access to class privilege calls me into a practice of on-going reflection and action towards divestment from white supremacy culture and settler colonialism. While I've been in care-work for decades, I became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in 2018. My psychotherapy practice is located in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, more accurately known as the territory of Huchiun, unceded Lisjan (Ohlone) land. 

Jess Finney, MA, LMFT (she/her/hers) I’m a Southern transplant living on occupied Dakota and Anishinaabe lands currently known as Minneapolis, MN. I'm a white-bodied, able-bodied (for now), cisgender, mostly heterosexual woman who navigates the world in a fat body. My first career was as a theater director, and I bring the same playfulness and curiosity of exploring what it means to be having a human experience to my current work as a therapist, consultant, and trainer. I enjoy working creatively and collaboratively with individuals, couples, families, and communities, and have been doing so in a variety of clinical settings since 2014 (in-home, day treatment, schools, and outpatient). Dedicated to collective healing, I continue to examine my white body privilege and how it impacts the world around me while working to dismantle oppressive systems.
