About the Course
"PARTS, PARTS, PARTS?!" — A Transformational Training in Parts Work with Kris SantaMaria, LCSW
Looking for a powerful, practical, and immediately applicable approach to working with complex client presentations?
"PARTS, PARTS, PARTS?!" is a strengths-based, experiential training that brings the Parts of Self model to life. Led by the warm, clear, and deeply knowledgeable Kris SantaMaria, LCSW, this training helps clinicians go beyond theory into real-time practice with tools they can use right away.
🔹 Watch it in action — Live and recorded demonstrations show how to use parts language to transform stuck patterns, access subconscious information, and compassionately meet protectors, managers, and exiles.🔹 Practice with confidence — Role plays, breakout groups, and experiential exercises help you build skills in a supportive, trauma-informed space.
🔹 Get real answers — Case-specific Q&A and consult groups help you apply the work directly to your clients—especially those navigating trauma, dissociation, suicidality, psychosis, and other challenging parts.🔹 Walk away with tools — Learn parts mapping, parts rescue, meeting space, and specific language for helping clients build a stronger, more integrated sense of Self.
🔹 Integration with EMDR and trauma work
Whether you're new to parts work or looking to deepen your clinical toolkit, this training offers a clear structure, compassionate framework, and immediately usable techniques that clinicians say have changed their practice—and their clients’ lives.
“The best training I’ve taken on parts work.”
“I used the tools with clients right after the first session—and saw movement where we’d been stuck for months.”
