What we'll workshop:

Together, we’ll explore the foundational principles of the IFS model of psychotherapy and how it interfaces with ancient Christian theology and practices.

  • What are parts? An overview of managers, exiles, and firefighters | Genesis 3:7
  • Guided exercises to help you get to know your parts | Ephesians 5: 12-14
  • Levels of faith development and multiplicity 
  • 4 fundamental IFS skills for spiritual formation and counseling | 2 Corinthians 10:5
  • Praying for parts: noticing who inside is praying
  • Immanuel approach exercise: inviting broken and burdened parts to perceive God's presence and grow toward trust | Luke 5:31
  • And more…see a sample outline of Julie’s previous workshops: https://www.juliehoneycutt.com/christian-ifs-video

Each session will include time for participants to engage in experiential learning exercises that put these concepts into practice.

"The Christian approach to IFS has enhanced my ministry/coaching in a variety of ways…I felt empowered to be able to serve my Christian clients deeper.”

About Julie

Julie Honeycutt, MMFT, NCC, LMHC, LPC is National Board Certified Counselor licensed in Michigan, Massachusetts, Tennessee, and Virginia.  

She is a certified IFS therapist (2011) and completed Level 3 IFS training in 2008 under the teaching of the founder and creator of IFS, Dr. Schwartz and is an IFS-I Approved Clinical Consultant for those seeking IFS certification.

Julie’s integration of IFS and the Judeo-Christian worldview began in 2004 while finishing her integration of faith & counseling degree at Reformed Theological Seminary.  She had the unique experience of going through Levels 1 & 2 IFS training solely with other like-minded Christians, including spiritual directors, pastors, professors, and theologians. Together with the IFS trainers and founder, Dick Schwartz, space was given to wrestle with where the IFS model of therapy does not align with the Christian worldview and discover the aspects of the model that compliment and enhance one’s Christian faith.

About James

Licensed to offer therapy services in Virginia, Tennessee, and Michigan, Dr. Honeycutt is often sought out due to the advanced IFS (Level 3) training he received in 2010 under the model's founder, Dr. Richard Schwartz. With particular interest in how the ancient Judeo-Christian understanding of the psyche (soul) overlaps with modern theories of mental health, he has spoken on this subject at conferences, educational seminars, and university classrooms.
 
Approaching work with clients from a Christian framework of psycho-spiritual health, Dr. Honeycutt combines modern-day techniques and psychological research with an ancient understanding of the human condition as created by God.
