Experiential Mindfulness: Six-Week Class to Build Your Emotional Intelligence
COURSE SUMMARY AND FORMAT
This class is an experiential study of a form of
mindfulness practice known as Self-Leadership. Self-
Leadership is based on Internal Family Systems Therapy
(IFS). IFS is a cutting-edge psychotherapy that safely and
systematically helps you integrate unconscious aspects
of your personality into conscious awareness (not family
therapy). You gain a productive way to grow emotional intelligence
and respond more constructively to disruptive
automatic thoughts, beliefs that interfere with your goals,
feelings that are hard to manage or behaviors that you
want to change. IFS was created by Richard Schwartz, ph.D
(see www.selfleadership.org).
The six week class will use Jay Earley’s book, Self-Therapy:
A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Inner Wholeness using
IFS. Each session will consist of discussion of key concepts
from the book and demonstrations. Work between classes
will include reading chapters from the book and practicing
the method with a partner by phone.
