Overview
A highly accessible introduction to a therapeutic approach that brings our inner āpartsā into harmony and allows our core Self to lead
Weāre all familiar with self-talk, self-doubt, self-judgmentāyet most of us still view ourselves as if we have one uniform mind. Dr. Richard Schwartzās breakthrough was recognizing that we each contain an āinternal familyā of distinct partsāand that treating these parts with curiosity, respect, and empathy vastly expands our capacity to heal.
Over the past two decades, Internal Family Systems (IFS) has transformed the practice of psychotherapy. With Introduction to Internal Family Systems, the creator of IFS presents the ideal laypersonās guide for understanding this empowering, effective, and non-pathologizing approach to self-discovery and healing. Here, Dr. Schwartz shares evidence, case studies, and self-care tools to help you:
ā¢ Shift from the limiting āmono-mindā paradigm into an appreciation of your marvelous, multidimensional nature
ā¢ Unburden your wounded parts from extreme beliefs, emotions, and addictions
ā¢ Demystify the most commonly misunderstood partsāthe Exiles, Managers, and Firefighters
ā¢ Transform your most challenging parts from inner obstacles to invaluable allies
ā¢ Embrace the existence of innate human goodnessāin yourself and others
ā¢ Connect with the true Self that is greater than the sum of your parts
āThe most wonderful discovery I have made is that as you do this work, you release, or liberate, what I call your Self or your True Selfāthe calm, compassionate essence of who you are,ā says Dr. Schwartz. āWhen the Self becomes the leading intelligence in our lives, we create more harmonyāboth within ourselves and in our external lives.ā For therapists, their clients, and anyone interested in understanding and healing themselves, here is an essential guide to a revolutionary approach to self-realization, mental wellness, and transformation.
