Capacities
Our groups help you develop capacities such as Assertiveness, Awareness, Compassion, Intimacy, Confidence, and many others. Click here for a list of interpersonal capacities. From an IFS perspective, capacities can be seen as burden-free parts or as aspects of Self.
You learn about important capacities for relating to others and for doing inner IFS work in group. For example, Josh learned that Vulnerability is an important capacity for connecting with his group.
You identify your growing edges as capacities so you can work on them explicitly. For example, Sandy joined a group because she wanted to be more Assertive.
You discover growing edges that you weren't aware of through getting feedback from your group. For example, Mary learned that she was putting on a competent front when she was actually feeling a lot, so she chose Openness as a growing edge for herself.
You discover and celebrate your innate capacities and gifts to the world. For example, Monica is naturally very empathic with others, and her group gave her appreciation for her Attunement Capacity.
You learn to be aware of when a capacity is manifesting in the moment. For example, Bill identified Spontaneity as a growing edge, and he worked on noticing when he naturally felt like expressing himself and acting on that.
