Partsworkers Lab

This group is designed to support coaches, therapists, practitioners, mentors, advisors, and guides who are IFS-trained or informed and will help you learn about and practice IFS to help your clients.

Each participant is asked to have a 20 minute conversation with me to determine readiness and fit for the group experience.

Participants must be trained in the IFS model. Please contact me with questions about your training history.

The initial commitment is for three months. Participants are asked to provide 30-days notice if they intend to exit the group. Otherwise, participants are welcome to continue on a month to month basis.

The initial cost is $700 for the first three months. After that, clients prepay for each month by the first day of the month at $250 per month.

The Partsworkers Lab group meets three Tuesdays per month from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM PDT.

A schedule of session dates is provided for the next three to four months.

Participants are encouraged to meet outside of scheduled group sessions for practice and support.

There is also a Whatsapp group created for use by group participants to communicate between sessions.

The group is made up of four to eight group participants.

The group will be coached by me, Bill Tierney.

Group sessions are held on Zoom.

Yes, sessions are recorded and can be viewed only by those who are registered for the group.

Confidentiality - honor the other participants in the group by keeping their participation in the group and anything they say in group sessions confidential.

Sessions are recorded - sessions will be stored in a Google drive folder and will be available to participants only. As new members join, a new folder is created to keep previous recordings confidential. 

• When viewing or listening to a recorded session, do so in full privacy. Do not share recorded sessions with anyone else. 

• Do not screen record, screen capture,  or audio record sessions by any means.

• If you notice I have forgotten to record, please remind me to do so.

• I may use portions of recorded sessions limited to my voice and images for marketing purposes but participant voices and images will never be included in marketing videos, audios, or written descriptions.

Responsibility for your own experience - Please do not share advice or feedback to other participants. During sessions, before referencing something someone else in the session has shared, ask their permission. Drawing attention to the share of another can diminish the sense of safety for others in the group, even if it feels like a positive reflection. When sharing, be intentional and speak for your own experience and for your parts.

• In this group, participants do not confront or challenge each other. Your healing and growth will be a result of your willingness and ability to focus on yourself and your experience. 

• Participants do not give advice or feedback to other participants.

Be on time - I am committed to starting and ending sessions on time and ask that you arrive in sessions on time.

• You will receive reminders with zoom links but take responsibility for being here on time and prioritize these sessions over other optional appointments and activities. Reserve the time in your calendar and limit potential distractions during sessions 

• If you know you will miss or be late for a session or plan to leave a session early, please notify me.

Honor the clock - I will use an online clock throughout the session to manage time and to provide space for everyone to have an equal opportunity to share. When time has elapsed, the timer will change color and emit an audible beep. Wrap up your share within 5 seconds of elapsed time.

Bill is coach - Bill has permission to offer coaching during sessions. This may consist of offers, observations, requests, and facilitated explorations.

You are always at choice but please remain coachable - this means you are open to be coached even if you decline my offers or requests.  As you participate in the group, consider your own safety and the safety of the group.
