ATS/2A - Resistance and Parts Work
(6.5 hrs CE Credit) Pre-Requisite: ATS/1B
If you are enrolled in the Academy's Certification training program, this course (along with it's companion ATS/2B course Polarities, Conflict Resolution and Parts) is a prerequisite to attending Preceptorship II.
This program focuses on the nature and function of resistance, parts, sub-personalities and ego states. Specifically, we will show you how Interactive Guided Imagerysm can be used effectively to understand and work with resistance and to help clients identify, understand, and reconcile inner conflicts.
As a part of this program, we will address several of the clinical strategies used for working with resistance and parts, especially as they relate to treating addictions.
You will also have the opportunity to hear a demonstration of the concepts and techniques we use with four volunteers from live workshops. When you listen to these demonstrations, pay special attention to how the specific language used facilitates the client's process.
You will also have the opportunity to participate in several experiential exercises. All home study courses have been designed so that you can learn the material without a study partner, but you will find that doing the practicum with a study partner will greatly enhance the learning experience.
We especially encourage you to find a friend or colleague willing to be a volunteer subject for the practicum in Section III, and in Section V, a special experiential exercise, called “The Circle of Wants”, should ideally be experienced with four others.
So you may want to begin thinking about asking friends, colleagues or other imagery students if they are interested in having this enlightening and fun experience with you.

ATS/2B - Parts, Polarities & Conflict Resolution
(6.5 hrs CE Credit) Pre-Requisite: ATS/2A
The program explores how IGIsm is used to resolve such conflicts and negotiate an improved inner relationship.
Section I focuses on using the model of polarities as the simplest form of inner conflict between the "subpersonalities" or "ego states" which were discussed in detail in the companion program, ATS/2A: Resistance and Parts Work.
In Section II, the concept of "subpersonalities" is further explored as it relates to inner conflicts, especially in the field of addictions.
Section III includes a demonstration of the concepts and techniques described with a volunteers at a live workshop.
When you listen to this demonstration, pay special attention to how the content-free language of interactive guiding can help to facilitate the client's process.
In Section IV, we discuss how IGIsm techniques can be used to promote learning and change, and in Section V, we focus on using IGIsm techniques to overcome resistance for issues related to addictions and habit control.
Section VI includes a recording of a full session demonstration using IGIsm techniques to reconcile polarities that are in conflict, and the debriefing session that followed it with a live audience.
