That role playing of how to have a loving relationship with the spirit of fear from @2:16 - how to converse with fear..man has revolutionarized my way of thinking..I paused the video..thought about what I heard..sat still ..and listened again. This is a video to listen to slowly and then relisten to unlearn and relearn..thank you SO much for this peaceful encouraging and challenging impartation ❤
Fabulous and very helpful conversation. I LOVE Dick Schwartz! Learning to love and accept my many parts is a daily and ongoing practice. My life is so much freer because of this work. ❤ A big thank you to Liz as well, for great examples and extra context. Merci!
This interview was one of the best! I found it fascinating looking at the self, no self, higher self and how to view these ideas and integrate these parts. Liz gave some amazing examples and tools that reflected her real authenticity Dick always reminds us to be loving and accepting toward ourselves. Listened to this one twice! Thanks.
Very interesting conversation. Great idea to name your parts with proper names Liz. I'm going to do that too. Dick thank you for articulating the difference between the empty self, and the full Self. And now we have Guides, great! Love IFS. Thanks Tami for hosting two people I admire.❤ ❤
Parts work is extremely helpful and a part is Richard’s calm manner. Liz offered helpful tools and vulnerability as to how she is managing her parts. Thx
Wow, wow, wow!! Tami #TamiSimon, love the curls! Thanks you for all your work and for SOunds True! Thank you for this interview and for having relationships with humans like Liz and Dick. Thank you, Liz, #ElizabethGilbert for giving me so much genuine Lizness and loveliness and peaceful truth. Thank you, Dick #DrRichardSchwartz, for IFS and for your ongoing life's work. I am a grateful student and fan!
Wow thx. Such a clear and vibrant description from Liz of what can happen when honest dogged parts work blossoms into results, moment to moment in real life. Its actionable and practical, from a source of Love.
Very helpful to hear both Dr. Schwartz’ and Elizabeth’s perspectives and to hear how Elizabeth experiences this. I’ve heard Tori Amos speak on her songs as being their own entities who come and visit her and allow her to “translate” them into the songs they become.
"Toward" is an intimate, curious, coming together, deliberate movement; "about" is around, approximate, impersonal, guesswork. One word emphasizes connection, the other separation.
Thanks for a very helpful dialogue about IFS, coming at it from three different directions. The 'about/towards' question was also very interesting. As a language teacher, I suspect that 'feel about' is often used as a softer synonym for 'think about', even though the verb 'feel' should point us towards a more emotional response. ( It's revealing that we never say 'think towards' something or somebody). Also the word 'towards' is more about relationship than 'about'. So even small word choices can have a big impact on dialogue with our parts.
Touched 🥹 tearing-up with gratitude *~towards~* these beautifully compassionate & resonating framing insights here, especially those caringly 🤲unfolded to encouragingly way-show share of one’s own wonderfully vulnerable & self-nurturing experiences. 💗 Cheers to such wholly caring for our eco-systems internally first & foremost, as they ⛲️ripple to our outer, sensibility remembering.
Yoga therapy is a modality that puts IFS, Compassionate Inquiry (Gabor Mate), breath and movement together in a way that allows people to explore from the outermost layer, the body, to the inner layers. Going deeper we find the breath, the thoughts, the emotions and finally the Self. Whether someone is ready for the journey of talk-therapy or has an acute or chronic health condition they just want some relief for, this combination of modalities is a match made in Heaven.
Only partway through, but yes! AA still has as part of it's culture a deep fear of the addictive self. Mind, body or brain, people who are new or "long-timers" hear and preach that our addiction is "out in the parking lot doing push-ups" waiting for an opportunity to get us. There are so many folks caught up in fear, no wonder there is such a high rate of relapse. From what I have experienced, many rehabs focus on the fear aspect as well, which to me is simply setting people up to fail and create loyal customers. Sorry if that sounds cynical. Looking at the original language of AA, when we are recovered (not forever recovering) we can go anywhere without fear, including places where there is liquor (or whatever your substance or triggers). This has come to fruition for me, thankfully. Though I am indeed, recovered from substance, the real work of underlying causes was not addressed until recently, and it's a mess, but I've found people on the same path and well as these glorious podcasts. Bill W., once AA was fully self sufficient, had tried to continue his personal spiritual journey, as well as indulging himself in the medical research of the day. He also wanted to become just an ordinary "Joe" in AA; drop the pressures of his reputation. But people being people, the organization collectively and codependently begged him to continue. For me, AA is a place where we make a beginning. Where we stop dying in order to have the freedom to feel and come together with different solutions for different people, but where we know we're more the same than not. Every day I thank God I've stayed around long enough (17 this summer) to witness this evolution and share it with others.
Happy Birthday 🎉 I really enjoyed your paragraph, it’s articulate and insightful. I also feel underlying causes continue to be revealed , one that is hugely important for me is the acceptance of unique personalities, often labelled. I prefer unlabelled existence as we are all specific special human entities 😊
Bill W did analysis under Jung. Jung suggested one interact with dream figures in a procedure called active imagination. IFS is rally an expansion of active imagination, but taking it farther than Jung himself actually imagined. IFS goes profoundly farther. If Jung were alive, he would move into IFS as the next step forward. RCM psychologist
Thank you for this rich conversation. I am on a point in my journey that I don't want vulnerable parts only have a relationship with that loving spiritual guide (goes very natural for me since young) - Im sometimes asking guides to step back, so that I can love me, because sometimes the other version feels still a bit dissociated. Can someone relate?
I think eventually that voice comes from you. But the message you received to for uttering this voice is from a form of inner searching. This inner speech maybe a result of this searching from multiple resources (e.g., long-term memory, experience, other people’s experiences, your wants, your needs, your likes and dislikes, etc.). Hearing a clear, positive voice, no matter from what source, is comforting. So actually in this case, you are both the messenger and the receiver.
Fantastic conversation. Very poignant at times listening to this knowing that Elizabeth Gilbert had to pull her book in the face of a backlash for it being set in Russia.
Dr Schwartz's legacy is IFS and his beautiful loving wise heart. This collab with Elizabeth was valuable. Thank you.
This is the best talk I’ve never heard. I’m shocked RUclips didn’t let me find it sooner!

Liz, thank you for your exquisite explanation of a Self-led flourishing system. And to you, Dick, for your ever present noticing.

This was a beautiful conversation, I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am for each one of you💞Thank You!

Just started experimenting with reaching out to my Spirit Guides, my SGs as I call them. So important in my life day by day.

Dick suggests asking the parts what they want to be called :)

It's called sublimation in psychology jargon
One of the best podcasts I have heard in a long time!!
This was fantastic. Thank you to all.
thanks for this beautiful conversation

Towards vs About 💥💥💥
Love you Liz !!
This was so so good.
Thank you Sounds True!
I love hearing about IFS from these three wonderfully insightful people!
Dick Schwartz makes me feel grounded, and grounded in building confidence in my-self
Thank you! This is great!

I love it. It´s totally relatable. Thank you so much for the wonderful work 🥰🥰🥰
How do you feel toward instead of about , it’s is brain magic 😊

Great convo! Thanks for sharing it
Thank you very much for sharing this!!!! life changing. a clear amazing interview. ❤❤❤❤
interesting topic however the closed caption is very distracting, RUclips has it's own CC for those who want to see the words.

Thank you 🙂❤️☀️🌻.
🙏🏽💛✨ from all
my parts 🥰
Good conversation but felt it was cut off mid stream as Richard was about to respond to Elizabeth
Thank you for this rich conversation.

Did this video go from being over an hour to only 16 minutes?
Dearest One, What do you need right now? ....

Dr Schwartz brought attention to something I didn’t know about myself
Fantastic conversation. Very poignant at times listening to this knowing that Elizabeth Gilbert had to pull her book in the face of a backlash for it being set in Russia.
Amazing ❤
This makes me think of Jill Bolte Taylor and "whole brain living"
Isn’t spirituality just our own true self
Wow
Liz completely took over the conversation and did not let Richard develop his
glad I was taught sacredness in a tradition early, because this worlds mothers and mates will treat you like a brute animal because they are.
