Mothercentered Certification 

Path for Practioners

The Good Mom/Bad Mom Loop articulates a parts-driven cycle established early in motherhood, when moms' systems divide into polarized teams of protector parts that unwittingly perpetuate mental health struggles.

About this Advanced Training

The goal of this experiential workshop is to integrate an expanded awareness of Mom Parts into the treatment of maternal depression and anxiety throughout the lifespan. By implementing concepts derived from Internal Family Systems, participants will be able to identify components of the client’s (and the therapist’s own) inner system that feed such cycles, so that we can participate in healing interventions that respectfully and effectively address the root of moms' distress.

​

Must have basic knowledge of IFS terminology and concepts. I will assume you are familiar with parts language and how parts can ally and polarize together. Must also have knowledge of matrescence and awareness of maternal mental health.

​

Recording will be made available for 30 days.​

Good Moms and Bad Moms

Participants will discover how to identify the parts that push moms to be GOOD as well as the ones who help moms get relief and soothing (often internally identified as BAD parts). Together we will explore the internal battle between these teams of parts, and how that battle determines so much about the quality of moms' mental health. Techniques presented will help develop confidence in the practitioner's  approach to working with Mom Parts - the ones that if left uncared for, become the basis of feelings of failure, guilt, shame, and rage.

Join Jessica Tomich Sorci, LMFT, PMH-C, Certified Internal Family Systems Therapist for a 3 hour experiential & educational workshop designed to offer an application of Internal Family Systems, specific to motherhood, with a focus on parts that cycle together around juggling the competing needs of mothers and their children.​
