In our recent clinical conversation with Dr. Frank Anderson and Marcella Cox, many of you shared a thoughtful curiosities — wanting more space to deepen the conversation, clarify key concepts, and connect them to day-to-day clinical work.
In this follow-up webinar, Marcella Cox, LMFT, CEDS-C, and Leah Dawang, SEP will take us beneath the surface of the concepts we touched on — offering a detailed and nuanced exploration of how Internal Family Systems (IFS), the nervous system, and listening therapies work together in daily therapeutic practice, especially with those with complex and developmental trauma.
This session will deepen your understanding of the practical impact, parallels and integration between Internal Family Systems, including protective and exiled parts and Self-energy, and listening therapies, like the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) and Rest and Restore Protocol (RRP).
There will also be dedicated time for live attendee questions, creating space to explore the nuances, challenges, and real-world decision-making therapeutic professionals face every day.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- How to deepen IFS work through a nervous-system-informed and somatic lens
- Key indicators of when to introduce listening therapies, like the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) or Rest and Restore Protocol (RRP), to support safety and access to Self-energy
- How protective managers and fire fighters and wounded exiles may respond and interactive with listening therapies
- Common pitfalls, misconceptions, and “stuck points” in integration—and how to navigate them
- Practical insights drawn directly from experience with clients
If you’re IFS-trained or informed and curious about integrating sound-based interventions into your trauma-informed practice, this session offers a wonderful opportunity to explore impactful and practical ways to support regulation, safety, and access to Self-energy.
