Who it's for: Anyone with a foundational knowledge of IFS.

Where: Comfortably from your own space, via Zoom.

Cost: Completely free, as a gift to our community.

What to Expect From Our 75 Minutes Together:

Each session is a journey. We begin with a brief check-in, flow into a guided meditation blending IFS and ACT, and then move into a live demonstration of parts work. You'll have the opportunity to practice with a personal challenge, followed by a rich group reflection.
We close with newfound perspectives at 8:15 PM.

NEW 4-PART LIVE WEBINAR SERIES FOR CLINICIANS · FALL 2026

Detecting Deception as a Healing Tool: A U-Model™ Approach for Foster Youth
With Dr. Rivka Edery, Psy.D., L.C.S.W. www.rivkaedery.com
In partnership with A Home Within

Stop chasing the leak. Start meeting the parts that lie to protect.

The flicker on a child’s face when they lie is a leak. A protective part is behind it. This series reframes lying, concealment, and minimization in foster youth as adaptive protection rather than defiance or pathology, and shows you how to meet it with safety, not shame.

Part 1 of 4: The Neurobiology of the Protective Shield
Wednesday, October 21 · 2:45 PM PT / 5:45 PM ET · 2 CE credits

This foundational session reframes deception in foster youth (lying, concealment, minimization) as adaptive protection rather than defiance or pathology. Grounded in Paul Ekman’s deception research and The U-Model™, it shows how protector parts activate in the body before conscious reflection. You’ll learn to recognize the three recurring threats the protective shield guards in foster care (physical danger, emotional exposure, and loss of caregiver or placement) and to shift from pursuing honesty to increasing the felt safety from which honesty can emerge. Includes core concepts, teaching vignettes with Bella, Alex, and Sammy, five moves for Monday morning, and a closing guided meditation, “The Flicker in the Window.”

The Table Has Been Talking. Most People Were Never Taught How to Listen.

For two years, I sat at a table in a mediumship practice circle looking for someone. Her name is Malky. She is my baby sister, and three years ago, she went entirely quiet — unreachable by any ordinary means.

I didn’t set out to build a method. I set out to find her.

My search took me across the globe — psychics, mediums, and healers, online and in person. I was desperate. As a clinical trauma therapist with seventeen years of experience, I already knew how the body holds what words cannot carry. I also knew that in the intuitive world we are often told to “just trust” our impressions.

Without structure, intuition is indistinguishable from projection, wishful thinking, or our own internal noise. I met many gifted people along the way, but I kept returning to the same truth: without a clear method, we are often just guessing.

That is why I built Spatial Sight.

Spatial Sight is a disciplined, somatic, and trauma-informed system that teaches you to read geometry before meaning — distance, cluster, and void — before any card is interpreted. It uses a somatic filter, a constellation map, and a rigorous disconfirmation metric so you move from guessing to recording. The geometry is the first reading. Everything else is commentary.

Learn more here:
https://www.rivkaedery.com/spatial-sight

This is the method that grew out of my search for Malky. It is now available for every practitioner who is done guessing and ready to record.

Get started today

2. The full system will launch at the end of July 2026

B) Spatial Sight: The Practice Log — 600 prediction threads + 384-line Deck Vocabulary (works with any deck)

C) Official matching linen card deck — custom-designed specifically for this method (limited first edition) by @rivkaedery

As October 7 approaches, we remember more than 1,200 people who were murdered and brutally slaughtered by Hamas terrorists. On that day, rapes and sexual violence were also committed, alongside abductions and additional atrocities. We remember the murdered, their names, their faces, and the lives that were cut short. May their memory be a blessing. We will never forget. 💔🇮🇱🕯️

For all who survived: you are not alone. ❤️‍🩹❤️🇮🇱🤍💙🤍💙🇮🇱 by @rivkaedery
