“Toni Herbine-Blank has developed a remarkable training for those wanting to apply IFS to couples that not only accomplishes that goal beautifully but also helps therapists explore and heal the parts of them that affect their own relationships. Toni is an exceptionally clear, warm, and Self-led trainer who receives consistent raves. I am honored to have such a talented person offering this innovative work to our community.”

“I can’t say enough about how rich and helpful the training was. The composition and spirit of the group was so permissive, nurturing, and responsive. The content, was excellent, and the practice groups really provided a space to feel the integration of the material learned and to flounder and be caught gently by Toni and the staff. There is a way in which you teach where I find myself able to remember a lot – it seems to really take hold inside me.”

“I have never, in all my days, ever felt so seen, appreciated, and really gotten by a teacher or leader. Thank you so much! You can’t believe what a gift is was to me… This training was one of the best things that happened for me in 2010”

“I thought that the training was wonderfully helpful in so many ways, didactically, experientially and personally. I thought the planning was superb, the pacing excellent and the balance of demonstration, practice groups and didactic material was wonderful.”

“During the training, a door opened enough for me to imagine that I could work with couples…possibly…having started the training with a pretty clear understanding that couple work was not going to be part of my practice. Now it’s a possibility! ”

“The training was wonderful: safe, allowing, accepting. Clear presentation using excellent visual cues and personal in the moment examples to anchor points. I think I am (and perceive all of us to be) moving more into learning from one another and not being so caught up in our performance anxieties.”

“Having just finished a week long intensive retreat style training with Toni in Santa Cruz I can say that this is the very best couples training there is. Toni has chunked the teachings down in sections so that clinicians can really get a feel for how to do it in a week’s time and come out feeling efficacious. I participated in the training about a year and a half ago and found a lot of new things In this training so it constantly gets reworked and refined. I myself am feeling so much more confident in my abilities sitting through it a second time. So by all means if you work with couples no matter how seasoned you are, enroll. You won’t be sorry. “
