Taught live to working therapists. Now yours on demand.
This is not a course written for a camera. The IFS Education Intensive is the private, 14-hour training that practices and clinical teams hire me to teach — live teaching, real questions from working clinicians, and the protocols I actually use, taught the way I teach them in the room.
The on-demand program is that complete teaching, edited down to just the teaching: 86 short lessons you can move through at your own pace and come back to for years. The live rooms get the practice container; you get every piece of the education — including the material that made the room go quiet.
Want it taught live to your practice or team? I still teach it — here's how that works.
What's inside
Ten modules, in the order the work actually unfolds. Every lesson is short on purpose — watch, let it land, practice.
- 1 · Foundations — why we feel our feelings, and what you're actually responsible for
- 2 · The Map — parts, Self, the 8 Cs, and your first guided drop-in
- 3 · Protectors — managers, firefighters, and the exiles they protect
- 4 · Blending & Unblending — the move you'll use in every session
- 5 · Trailheads — where every session begins
- 6 · The Six Fs — the full protocol, and the gate that keeps it safe
- 7 · Polarizations — the triangle, the cross-check, the hope question
- 8 · Exile Work — witnessing and unburdening, end to end
- 9 · Practitioner Craft — 29 working answers to the questions practitioners actually ask
- 10 · Practice Audios — two guided drop-ins, yours for good
Plus the complete Becoming Self-Led workbook — 50 pages: every protocol in writing, worksheets, and the Six Fs desk card.
The material most IFS courses skip
The introductory layer of IFS is everywhere now — parts language, protectors, a little unblending. What's hard to find is the rest of the protocol, taught carefully: polarizations — the wars between protectors that actually run people's lives — and exile work, all the way through witnessing and unburdening.
That's where this program spends its depth. The polarization module teaches the full working method — the triangle of stuckness, the cross-check, the hope question, and why negotiation between parts is optional. The exile module walks the whole way: the permission gate, witnessing, the five elements, and what to do after the burden lifts. And the craft library answers the questions that only come up when you're actually doing this with real people: the "I don't know" client, the client who triggers you, the session that goes sideways.

Start the Free PreviewWho this is for
- Therapists and counselors who want to actually use IFS with clients — protocol depth now, without a lottery or a years-long waitlist.
- Coaches and helping professionals who want the model itself, taught to a professional standard.
- Serious self-practitioners — if you've been doing your own parts work and want the complete method, everything here works inward. The whole program is built on the belief that you can become your own therapist.
A signpost: if you're brand new to IFS and want a gentler, guided start on your own system, begin with the Complete Self-Led IFS Program. If what you want is certification and the coaching-practice track — framework, a practice client, a credential — that's the Self-Led Coaching Academy, and you can get it together with this program in the Everything bundle below.
Who's teaching
I'm Conor McMillen — an IFS-trained life coach. I was trained by the IFS Institute in 2014 and have practiced IFS ever since: over a decade of client work, a YouTube channel that's introduced IFS to millions of viewers, and the creator of the Complete Self-Led IFS Program and the Self-Led Coaching Academy. The Intensive is the deepest material I teach — and this program is that teaching, on demand.
"IFS transformed my life, and I want to witness it enrich yours — and the lives of those you serve — in the most profoundly positive way. When we guide others toward Self-leadership, we create a beautiful ripple of impact in their world and beyond."
