🌿 Emotional Sobriety Through Internal Family Systems (IFS)

A 22-hour virtual program — weekend immersion + 4-week integration

At SHiFT, emotional sobriety means more than abstinence — it’s the freedom to live in balance, integrity, and self-leadership. This experiential program invites SHiFT Alumni to explore what it means to recover not only from addiction, but from the internal patterns that drive emotional reactivity and disconnection.

Blending the principles of recovery with the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, this course guides participants to meet and understand the parts of themselves that shape their behaviors, beliefs, and relationships — creating space for genuine healing and Self-led living.
