Internal Family Systems (IFS) understands the mind as a system of parts — and offers a clear, compassionate map for working with them. In this workshop Dr. Tori Olds takes you inside the model: its core assumptions, its language, and the techniques and steps that guide a session. She’ll highlight the moments in IFS work where old emotional learnings can be disconfirmed and updated — with a brief nod to the science of memory reconsolidation — and bring it all to life with real clinical tape.

Dr. Tori Olds

Psychologist & educator · co-founder, Deep Eddy Psychotherapy

Dr. Tori Olds is a licensed psychologist, educator, and co-founder of Deep Eddy Psychotherapy in Austin, Texas. She is known internationally for making the neuroscience of experiential therapy and memory reconsolidation accessible to clinicians, and trains therapists worldwide in modalities including Coherence Therapy, IFS, and AEDP. Her teaching brings clarity and warmth to complex material — helping clinicians understand not just what works in therapy, but why.


Hear from Tori

Tori joined our podcast, Not Too Tight, Not Too Loose, to talk about experiential therapy and memory reconsolidation.


What we’ll cover


  • IFS assumptions — understanding the mind as a system of parts
  • The language of IFS — Self, parts, and the terms that organize the work
  • Techniques and steps — how an IFS session unfolds, move by move
  • Moments of disconfirmation — where lasting change happens, with a brief look at memory reconsolidation
  • Clinical tape & Q&A — seeing the work in action, and your questions

Who this is for


Therapists, counsellors, psychologists, coaches, and graduate students who want a practical, grounded understanding of IFS — whether you’re new to the model or already weaving parts work into your practice. This workshop stands on its own: the September workshop is not a prerequisite.


Included: the September lecture


Registration comes with the 52-minute recorded lecture from Tori’s September 28 workshop, An Introduction to Experiential Psychotherapy. It lays out the theory that November puts into practice:

  • One change process, many models — why IFS, AEDP, EFT, Coherence Therapy and somatic work are doing the same thing underneath, and how transformational change differs from symptom relief
  • How emotional learnings form — the implicit predictions, like “feelings are dangerous,” that keep symptoms coming back
  • Memory reconsolidation — the research behind it, and the three conditions a learning needs before it can update: reactivation, a mismatch experience, and a window of tolerance
  • Into the session — slowing down, working through the body and emotion, and why regulation sometimes means turning signals up

We’ll email you a private link when you register. Watch it before November 23 to arrive with the foundations fresh, or come back to it after. It’s the lecture only: September’s live demonstration and Q&A aren’t included.

From the September workshop


“The Tori Olds intro to experiential therapy was both engaging and practical. Tori has an ability to speak from a place of clear authority and deep embodied wisdom. It was a perfect taste into a less rigid and cerebral approach to counseling. I have found in the days since the workshop, reminders and guidelines show up with my client work. Very grateful!”
— Amanda, Licensed Counsellor
