PAUSE for Self-Leadership is inspired by the fundamental principles of Internal Family Systems. PAUSE is intended as a simple, memorable, non-therapeutic application of IFS that anyone can learn and practice in everyday life. PAUSE is not designed to replace treatment with a mental health professional. Our workshops are intended as educational workshops only and do not provide group therapy.
