François Le Doze has been a neurologist at the University Hospital of Caen for thirty years. His interest in the relationship between body and mind was transformed when he discovered the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, with its ability to restore the balance of a person by harmonizing all the facets within.
This profoundly influenced his personal and professional life by orienting him towards psychotherapeutic practice.
Convinced of the relevance and effectiveness of the model, he trained with founder Richard Schwartz in 2006 to become the first French-speaking trainer for the IFS Institute. His passion contributed significantly to its diffusion to the French-speaking public, in particular by overseeing the French translation of the introductory book to the IFS model by Richard Schwartz ( Système familial intérieur - Blessures et guérison). Francois is also the author, with Christian Krumb, of La force de la confiance: une thérapie pour s’unifier (The force of confidence: a therapy to unify) (Odile Jacob, 2015).
In 2014 after encountering Polyvagal theory he founded SELF THERAPIE FORMATION and began to develop the Intelligence Relationnelle® model. This approach combines the advances of the IFS model with those made in the neuroscientific understanding of relationships, trauma and attachment theory.
It is a therapeutic modality based on the relational dynamics between the client and the therapist, and within the client to resolve the patient’s inner conflicts and relational difficulties. It is used to treat not only complex psychological traumas, but also the pre-existing attachment disorders that are very often associated with trauma.
It draws on the recent neuroscience data on attachment and neuroplasticity in the therapeutic process and provides a theoretical and practical framework in which the whole spectrum of attachment disorders and complex traumas can be treated through the flexible and appropriate use of co-regulation and self-regulation.
Currently Francois is bringing his brilliant synthesis to an International audience.
This workshop will be a mix of didactic presentation, live demonstration and time for Q&A.
