Trauma, Spirit & IFS
The Deeper Realms of Healing
In this two-day experiential workshop, we will focus on exploring how what I refer to as Spirit can be the foundation of the healing process, rather than an abstract add-on. It will be one of my most experiential offerings so far, shaped by decades of my own practice and experience.
I will guide us through the sequence I use in my own work: guided meditation, parts mapping and inner-sense cultivation with a selected part. To help you fully feel and understand how this unfolds, I will offer a live demo using a selected parts map.
You will also be invited into your own dialogue with Spirit. I will share a core practice I have been engaged in for many years, first introduced to me by Kay Gardner. This daily conversation with Spirit is at the heart of my new book “Spirit” and will help you experience how such a relationship can support trauma healing for you and your clients.
Early Bird Pricing until January 20.
“I have known Bob about 10 years and during that time I don’t know of anyone else who has been to more of my workshops as a participant or assistant or has done more work on him or herself. As a result, he knows IFS intimately and deeply and is a strong teacher.
“Also, the book we co-wrote, Many Minds, One Self, wouldn’t exist without his dedication to exploring everything related to IFS.”
Richard Schwartz PhD – Creator of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy
“Bob Falconer is in eminently talented IFS therapist and teacher. I have had the good fortune of co-assisting IFS retreats conducted by Richard Schwartz at the Esalen Institute with him for the past several years.
He brings a wealth of knowledge to his teaching and his mastery is most evident in his deep and nuanced understanding of the clinical applications of IFS to the complex areas of trauma and spirituality. Indeed, my appreciation of IFS is it expanded with every experience with Bob.
“On a personal level, he is an exceptionally real, kind, and humorous individual. Both his teaching and sharing our compelling and moving.”
Barney Jordan, PhD. IFS therapist. Counselor at the University of the Pacific. Previously served on the clinical faculty of Harvard Medical School; taught mindfulness meditation at MIT. Practicing at the interface of spirituality and psychotherapy for more than 30 years.
“Bob has a lot of experience teaching about the combination of IFS and psychedelic medicine so I really can encourage people to explore all this with him.”

Healing from Child Sexual Abuse using IFS
On-Demand
Through didactic presentations, videos, and questions, Bob Falconer, therapist and survivor of childhood sexual abuse, will guide us through the aspects that have been key to his recovery, and especially how IFS and its spiritual component have been fundamental in this journey of transformation.
My own personal healing journey and the lessons learned in this long struggle.
The history of the treatment of child sexual abuse and trauma in general.
Multiple personality disorder, now called dissociative identity disorder, and the issue of trauma and memory.
The multiple model of the mind is very valuable, almost necessary, for healing serious abuse.
A history of previous therapies based on the multiple model of the mind (ego state therapy, Gestalt therapy,
the wounded child movement and ACA, voice dialogue, psychosynthesis, transactional analysis and more).
Why the IFS (Internal Family System) is the most powerful and respectful model of all for working with child sexual abuse.
Exiles and protectors. The basic way in which the IFS works with child sexual abuse.
Addictions, compulsiveness, and other more advanced topics.
The spiritual damage caused by child sexual abuse and the need for a spiritual component in healing.
What the Fu@k is Happening
& What Can We Do About It?
In the 2.5 hour conversation, Paul Levy, renowned author and visionary thinker on the mind-virus Wetiko, and I discuss the mysteries of the mind in a live inline event on Wetiko, Inner Entities, and the Hidden Psyche.
In this conversation, Levy and I delved into the unseen psychological forces that shape individual and collective behavior. From the parasitic nature of Wetiko to the enigmatic “others” within us, this dialogue offers a transformative perspective on trauma, healing, and personal sovereignty.
Key Topics Include:
- What is Wetiko? Understanding its impact on consciousness, perception, and culture
- Psychic entities: Are they symbolic, literal, or something in between?
- The connection between trauma, healing, and reclaiming the true self
- Exploring archetypes, the shadow, and tools for collective transformation
Whether you’re a psychologist, healer, spiritual seeker, or simply curious about the deeper mechanics of the human mind, this discussion will challenge your understanding of reality and offers practical insights for inner growth.

The Others Within Us
Unattached Burdens & Guides in IFS Therapy
Through LifeArchitect.com
This recorded 4-part series explores the farther reaches of IFS:
- Unattached burdens
- Guides (These are all Beings who are not Self and not parts.)
The workshop will introduce you to the spiritual implications of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model.
These subjects do not fit in the modern materialist paradigm, and attempts to deal with them are often met with mockery and derision. But they are real, they do occur and they cause human suffering and human joy.
We start with radical pragmatism. How do we best deal with these phenomena when they occur in clients or in ourselves? What works? What helps? These are our most basic concerns. We then place these phenomena in historical and cross-cultural perspectives, and we examine some possible theoretical understandings.
My book about this (released April 2, 2023) The Others Within Us: Internal Family Systems, Porous Mind, and Spirit Possession, is available on Amazon and good booksellers.
11+ Hours of Recordings – 3 full Workshops

IFS & Psychedelics

IFS therapy and psychedelic-assisted therapy are a great fit. It’s because of that Internal Family Systems is one of the main modalities used in MDMA trials done by MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies).
In this recorded workshop series, IFS Teacher, Robert Falconer – co-author of “The Others Within Us: Internal Family Systems, Porous Mind, and Spirit Possession: – takes you on a journey, during which you will learn how to use IFS to support altered states of consciousness.
Bob and his guests – leaders in the field of psychedelic therapy – teach you about the application of IFS therapy during three stages of work with psychedelics – preparation, experience, and integration.
Guest Teachers: Richard Schwartz, Michael Mithoefer & Dr. Robert Grant.
