What it's all About
An IFS-Informed Method for Fertility-Challenged Clients
Join Jessica and Michelle Brown, Certified Mothercentered Therapist (!) for a three-hour continuing education workshop adapting the five-step Mom Parts Method for fertility-challenged clients. You'll explore why fertility journeys require distinct modifications to the traditional protocol—particularly around respecting protectors that must remain active during ongoing treatment. Learn essential fertility terminology, recognize how parts commonly polarize in this population, and understand how to address grief and shame when clients fear that grieving means giving up. Prerequisites: none. (We will send a video to all registrants with a primer on IFS and fertility concepts and terminology.)
