An Excellent Interview With Richard Schwartz: How the Fragmented Self Becomes Whole Through IFS

This is an excellent interview from four years ago with Richard Schwartz. I am continuing to be moved to share about IFS (Internal Family Systems) because of the suffering, addictions, losses, and trauma that I have witnessed and experienced within myself, my family, other loved ones, and in this beautiful hurting world that we all share. Here it is illuminated a vital missing link that was lacking for so many years on my own journey of 40 years of sobriety, healing, awakening, and transformation. 

As the perspectives, models, wisdom, and treatments for addictions, depression, anxiety, illness, and the many faces of trauma are evolving, there is great hope for us all. The implications here of learning how to be more deeply Self-led  conscious and grounded, compassionate and loving, courageous and wise  are also not confined to individuals and families, but rather for our culture and world. 

I hope that you will consider watching and sharing this video and exploring other resources of support which hold IFS as part of how human suffering and trauma can be deeply held, understood, healed, and transformed. I envision a world where more and more of us as human beings will increasingly inhabit our Self, our Buddha nature, the love of Christ, or however we experience the core of our Sacred essence. 

It is my belief that there is so much potential for humanity and for all that we love and care about. Another world is possible beginning with our own inner worlds. May we grow in our capacity to experience and bring love, healing, joy, compassion, and peace to ourselves and to all of our earthly sisters and brothers.

Bless us all on our journeys,

Inside each of us there always is a raging battle for control and security between parts of ourselves that oftentimes we simply neglect.
