Date: May 29-30, 2026, 9:30 AM - 5:30 PM
Language: German
Location: Online
This workshop is designed for psychotherapists who want to gain a solid understanding of the IFS model and integrate it effectively into their professional practice. You will receive a clearly structured overview of key concepts such as parts, self, and inner dynamics, and develop a deeper understanding of how to precisely guide inner processes.

This will give you confidence in using the model and clarity on how IFS can be effectively applied both in your therapeutic work and for your own professional development.
Encountering Self-Like Parts – A Workshop Day for Clarity and Compassion
Led by: Dipl. Psych. Mel Herff
Date: October 17, October 24, November 28, 2026 | 9:30 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Language: German
Location: Online
Cost: 250 EUR
In this workshop, you will explore self-similar parts – aspects of your inner system that keep you stable, competent, and capable of relationships, yet often remain unrecognized. Instead of trying to correct them, you will investigate how to cultivate an appreciative relationship with them and what roles or cultural expectations have shaped them.
You will learn to perceive self-like parts in yourself and in your work with clients in a differentiated way and to mindfully guide them towards unblending. Under the guidance of psychologist Melanie Herff, a safe and supportive environment with space for exchange and practical exercises will develop a sound understanding as well as concrete, practical approaches for greater clarity, inner order, and connection within the IFS process.
Registration is done via email.

In a supportive atmosphere, experiences are shared, questions are asked, and insights are offered – ideal for anyone who wants to delve deeper into the topic or is looking for inspiration for their own practice.
Unblending with the conference table – a practical workshop for IFS therapists
Director: Mag. Laura Milojewic
Date: September 11th / October 2nd / October 23rd, 2026 | 9:30 AM – 5:30 PM
Supervision : November 20, 2026 | 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM
Language: German
Location: Online
This workshop series is aimed at IFS therapists who wish to deepen their unblending skills and bring more clarity to complex internal systems. Using the conference table method, participants learn to structure polarized or chaotic dynamics, selectively externalize parts, and support decision-making processes—especially when many parts are activated simultaneously.
Through demonstration sessions, practical small group work, and a supervision block, participants gain direct experience and confidence in therapeutic application. Under the guidance of Laura Milojewic, MA, the conference table opens up new possibilities for establishing clarity, progress, and effectiveness within the IFS process – both in professional practice and in personal self-exploration.
