Deeper Intimacy with Your Self

(DIY) IFS Practice Group

Next Class: Saturday, January 25

11 am on Zoom for 2 hours


The Parts Hospital

A Place for Healing, Recuperation, and Magic!

~ Magical Places and Objects in IFS Series ~


Melissa’s Deeper Intimacy with Your Self courses gave me a quantum leap in my inner work practice.

Before, although I had a daily journaling practice, I was pretty reliant on life coaching for doing deep work.

Now, thanks to the DIY IFS beginner and advanced course, I have the skills to be my own therapist.

My own practice and my relationship with myself are so much deeper, more trusting, and more productive.

The courses epitomize Melissa’s motto, “Work smarter, not harder,” making inner work more fun and more efficient.

Every part of me recommends them with great enthusiasm. They have totally changed my life! —Liv Love

The DIY classes are currently running à la carte—you can try one and see how you like it without committing to the entire series. 

Each class has a similar structure; the only difference is the technique we focus on. In this way, it functions as BOTH a learning / teaching class and an ongoing experiential practice group. You can take it once to learn the technique, then continue to drop in to future groups to continue practicing. 

In the group, we will:

-Go inside to connect with our parts 
-Share what feels comfortable
-Do a 20 minute demonstration of an IFS session using that day’s technique

-Share how the demonstration inspired or resonated with us 
-Take 10-15 minutes to practice the technique
-Share our inner work in whatever way feels comfortable
-Close out our time with a word or phrase we are taking away from the experience.

Because of the HIGHLY experiential, personal nature of the group, it will not be recorded. 

However, before the class, I will send out a video or audio example of a demonstration using the method we are learning, so that you can become familiar with it (if you want) ahead of time

This class is the best fit for: 

-Open-hearted people who have a basic ability to work with their parts
-People who want to learn how to work more deeply with their parts / get unblended more easily ON THEIR OWN 
-People who want to learn and practice classic IFS externalization techniques — mind mapping, parts sketching, and using finger puppets to personify parts. 

We are a very small, intimate group of six who create a supportive, connected community over the sessions of the class.

If you are looking for a place to:

-do deeper work 
-with emotionally mature, IFS-savvy folks
-in a safe container 
-of mutual support and encouragement

I invite you to consider this group!

If you want to learn more about it, sign up for a free Zoom call with me. I do a Zoom with everyone who takes a class, so you have a sense of safety with me coming in to the class, to find out if it's the right fit, and to have your questions answered!

As with most of my Deeper Intimacy with Yourself (DIY) IFS Practice Groups, the idea behind each class is simple. What’s not simple, is parts feeling open to putting it into practice.

The Parts Hospital


The parts hospital is exactly as it sounds—a magical inner place where parts who are hurt can go to get care and recuperate.

• What are potential times that are appropriate to use a parts hospital?
• What are potential places for parts hospitals?

• How can I get the most out of my parts hospital?
• Are there times when the parts hospital is not appropriate?

My parts hospital is the infirmary at Hogwart’s. What’s yours?

A demonstration audio or video teaching is included in your registration for each class

Once you register by sending your class payment,
I’ll send you a short video or audio to deepen your learning (usually 20 minutes or so).
