This is worth posting again. Internal Family Systems (IFS) is such a profound game changer and a reflection of the evolution of responding to and treatment for depression and anxiety, addictions of all kinds, and all of the many different faces of unaddressed pain and trauma. I am so encouraged with the availability of IFS across our country and worldwide and how it is that this deep work empowers us to heal, transform, live wholeheartedly, and be increasingly grounded in Self-led lives. This is true and enduring freedom from the painful ancestral and cultural legacies which have unknowingly been passed on through countless generations. We can awaken to our wholeness and the strength, tenderness, power, and beauty of our true nature. — Molly
Discover the transformative power of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy in this enlightening interview with Richard Schwartz. Delve into the intricate IFS model, comprising Exiles, Managers, Firefighters, and Self. Learn how Exiles, those inner child parts, hold emotional pain from past traumas. Explore the role of Managers in preventing triggers through inner criticism. Understand the vital role of Firefighters, reactive in managing intense emotions. Uncover the healing core that is your Self, the stable foundation beneath these parts. Join us to explore the journey of self-discovery and healing through the lens of IFS therapy. If you’re interested in learning more, I highly recommend picking up a copy of Dr Schwartz’s most recent book: “No Bad Parts”, or check out some of the other resources available at www.ifs-institute.com.

Richard Schwartz, PhD., began his career as a systemic family therapist and an academic. Grounded in systems thinking, Dr. Schwartz developed Internal Family Systems (IFS) in response to clients’ descriptions of various parts within themselves. He focused on the relationships among these parts and noticed that there were systemic patterns in the way they were organized across clients. He also found that when the clients’ parts felt safe and were allowed to relax, the clients would experience spontaneously the qualities of confidence, openness, and compassion that Dr. Schwartz came to call the Self. He found that when in that state of Self, clients would know how to heal their parts. A featured speaker for national professional organizations, Dr. Schwartz has published many books and over fifty articles about IFS. Learn more at: https://ifs-institute.com.
