Drawing from decades of clinical experience and her influential Addictive Process Triangle, Cece will guide you into:
- How protective strategies show up in your internal system as a therapist
- Where shame loops quietly take hold - and how to gently interrupt them
- How to recognise early signals of overwhelm and over-efforting
- Practical, IFS-rooted ways to return to clarity and Self-leadership
- How to build a relationship with your own protectors that feels compassionate, not corrective
- What allows you to be courageous, present, and attuned in the room, without burning out
This is a space for reflection, honesty, and grounded learning, held by someone who deeply understands the emotional, spiritual, and energetic demands of this profession.Â
What You’ll Learn
- How protective strategies manifest in the therapist’s internal system
- Applications of the Addictive Process Triangle in both client work and therapist self-care
- Ways to interrupt shame loops, imposter feelings, and overidentification
- Practical IFS tools to sustain self-leadership, confidence, and presence
- How to create a more sustainable, courageous therapy practice

This Is For
This workshop is designed for IFS-trained therapists and practitioners who love the model but sometimes struggle with the lived reality of doing deep emotional work day after day.
This is for you if:
- You sometimes leave sessions unsure, drained, or doubting your impact
- You notice your own protectors taking over in subtle ways
- You experience imposter feelings even though you are trained and competent
- You slip into overworking, perfectionism, numbing, collapsing, or rescuing
- You’ve felt isolated, comparing yourself to others
- You want to feel more grounded and confident in the room
- You long for a compassionate space to make sense of your own internal system as a therapist
If you’re an IFS graduate, therapist or practitioner wanting to deepen your clarity, capacity, and confidence — this workshop will meet you exactly where you are.
