About IFS Climate Cafe Circles

Deepening Climate Resilience through Internal Family Systems

I provide IFS-Informed Climate Cafe Circles for those experiencing internal, emotional distress as a result of the climate crisis and global warming. Some experience with Internal Family Systems is helpful. I also provide training for those wanting to learn how to facilitate these circles themselves and in their own communities.

I developed this model based on both my knowledge and practice of IFS, and my experience facilitating climate cafes based on the model created and used by the Climate Psychology Alliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach me at info@thomascounselling.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What can I expect if I attend?

After a brief introduction, we will take a few moments to bring ourselves 'inside' to see what Parts are feeling about the climate crisis in that moment. Each person will be invited to speak FOR their Parts in one or two rounds, allowing time to connect with each other and give space for our Parts to share what they're holding. The Self-Energy of the group will provide connection and mutual support for each participant.

Are there any guidelines or rules for these groups?

There are some suggested guidelines, which will be reviewed in each circle. Mainly, the space is not for debate, or arguing facts about climate change. It is also not therapy or counselling. Mainly, the group is intended to focus on identifying and speaking for our Parts that are impacted by the climate crisis, and to connect with Self-Energy in ourselves and the others in the group.

Is there a cost for these circles?

There is no cost for these circles. If you are able to and feel drawn to, a small donation to the Climate Psychology Alliance would be appreciated, but is NOT expected.
