Thich naht hanh also teaches using mindfulness to take care of the inner child, and he teaches this all under the aspect of Mindfulness- so it's Wrong for Schwartz to say "This Is Not Mindfulness."
Mindfulness is being in Self. But Thich naht Hanh teaches how to take care of your inner child when he/she is upset, by being in mindfulness and comforting the inner child. So that IS IFS- it's just not as extensive as Shwartz's IFS.
@@orangeziggy599 Nah. IFS is more complex with multiple parts, the 'Self' which is allegorically the God head. IFS is a more accurate model for the reality of the human psyche. Having just a 'self' and an 'inner child' isn't really a realistic model, nor, I suspect, is the method of 'mindfulness' to reintegrate 'exiled' participles of the psyche into the self. IFS uses a relational approach to reintegration, which is universally applicable to all people.
Finally some hope, your contribution is very helpful doc.
An interesting vision.

As I understand it, mindfulness is about one-way observation, while IFS is about multi-way communication and transformation.
