When the Pro/Con List Isn't Enough
A Free Workshop on Making Hard Choices
Both sides of you are welcome. Get curious about each, and the choice gets easier.
You've made the list. You've weighed the pros and cons. You've asked friends. And you're still stuck, because part of you wants one thing and part of you wants something else. Both have good reasons.
In this two-hour workshop, you'll try a different approach. Using ideas from Internal Family Systems (IFS), you'll get to know the different sides of you that have a stake in your decision, listen to what each one needs, and notice what shifts when each one feels heard.
What We’ll Do Together
A short guided meditation to arrive and settle
A simple way to understand why hard choices feel so hard
A guided exercise, led by Stan, with your own choice
Sharing in small groups, with no advice-giving
A live coaching demonstration with a volunteer client
Time to reflect on what you noticed, and a small next step
Who This Is For
Anyone facing a choice that keeps going in circles. No experience with IFS or coaching is needed.
How We’ll Work Together
This workshop is a safe, respectful space. When you register, you'll be asked to agree to a few simple commitments: keep what others share confidential, take part at whatever level feels right to you, and understand that this is coaching, not therapy.

FAQ
Do I need any prior training in IFS or parts work?
No. This course is foundations-level, so no prior training is required.
Is this the same as becoming certified in IFS?
No. This course teaches Parts Work grounded in Internal Family Systems, but it isn't an official IFS certification. If you're looking for formal IFS certification, I'd suggest looking into the IFS Institute.
Who is this course for?
Coaches, and related helping professionals, who want a practical, felt understanding of parts work to bring into real sessions with real clients.
Are sessions recorded?
Only the teaching portions of each session are recorded and shared with participants afterward, so you can revisit the material if you need to. The practice and discussion segments, where the real relational work happens, stay unrecorded, to protect the safety and depth of live participation.
What's your refund policy?
Full refunds are available if you cancel before January 6, 2027. After that date, refunds aren't available, but you can transfer your registration to a future cohort. Once the course begins on January 20, spots are no longer refundable or transferable, since the depth of this work depends on a stable, committed group.
How many people are in the group?
This cohort is capped at 16 participants, small enough to protect real safety and depth in the live practice work, which is where the heart of this course happens.
