- 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: ifs-institute.com.

Only halfway thru so far and this video has already been life-changing. Exactly what I've needed to hear to unlock the rest of my healing
What happened to the Ram Dass chillstep- path of the heart?
This is amazing therapy and I am thankful for finding IFS therapy. Every therapy doesn't work for everyone and it takes compassion for every part of yourself even the parts we don't want to see . I've finally realized that loving myself means loving every part of me
My interest in IFS is really escalating. Thank you everyone who is explaining this in different ways for us to get deeper and deeper understanding. Since it can be hard to find access to the work if you are financially challenged or have difficulty learning things without an external teacher.
I found his latest book in my local library.
Have you checked out the book _Self-Therapy_ by Jay Earley?
I have, checked out some books. But find it hard to do it that way, I am making some progress tho......thanks!!@@edheldude
The workbook on self therapy is amazing . Also Dr. Schwartz latest book No bad parts ❤
Very nice video ❤❤❤
Great, yet another resource.
Getting there.
Thank you.
The yoga/tai chi studio Body &Brain does a workshop that is called Finding True Self that is similar to the Self that Dr. Richard Shwartz is describing. Really interesting, there they do more body work to help get out of the mind first to connect. It would be interesting to combine the two.
Scheduled my first IFS session for Wdenesday!! So excited.
How’s it going?
Its no, "walk in the park." In fact it's excruciatingly painful work.
Do you think it's worth doing? Hope it's going well for you 💜
Awesome video!
✅ very good
❤❤❤
Interested in the next, spiritual level of this conversation?
We are excited to share on our channel a groundbreaking interview with Dick, with the below description.
In this fascinating conversation, Dick discusses for one of the first times the spiritual implications of working with parts of self. In line with many traditions of the ancient world, we appear to have many parts that we are not consciously aware of. Though most of those parts belong to us, and are best integrated and healed, some parts do not. It is these that need to be removed, and their apparent sentient nature shakes up much of what current, scientific psychology is willing to see and accept.
No matter what your views, you will be fascinated by Dick’s honest report of his decades of experience working first-hand at the crossroads of psychology and spirituality. Clinical evidence has shown that IFS works, and it is one of the most widely trained psychotherapy interventions today. We cannot, then, easily dismiss Dick’s wealth of clinical experience. The implications of this conversation are immense and only beginning to be understood.
Deep gratitude to both Dick and his guides for their willingness and clarity in giving this thirsted-for guidance to the psychedelic provider community.
What if it is too late to fix the damages made? What to do the?
It’s never too late
My daughter did IFS therapy with very experienced therapists on a weekly basis for 3 years. She got nowhere with unburdening or reintegrating her exile: IFS seems to be very good at explaining the problem, but wholly ineffective at providing a solution.
It has worked v well for many people, but no therapy model works for everyone. Therapists need more than one model in their toolbox. 3 years is way too long, she should have been referred on.
Eh, it takes time to do the work. You have to first work with the managers to regain trust before going anywhere close to the exiles.
@@edheldude thanks for your reply but, over 3 years, the therapist(s) have tried these things. For me, for a therapy to be effective, it has be able to overcome the natural resistance to change of the patient's 'managers' who inevitably are attempting to keep the patient 'safe'. If it can't do that, then the result is that the patient's existing feelings of shame (which are often the root of the problem in the first place) are only increased by the shame of not being a good enough patient... I wonder is there any real evidence that this therapy works for anybody who has non-trivial problems.
@truerosie Thanks but, is there any real hard evidence that it has worked very well for many people? (other than simplistic problems) - I find no statistics on-line, but I find hundreds of therapists charging $80 an hour plus for therapy. I'm beginning to wonder if this is actually just another pseudoscience fueled cash-grab, preying on the vulnerable and desperate. Even assuming that is not the case, after a couple of years I contacted the Institute requesting details of a 'highly experienced' IFS therapist, I contacted the person recommended twice indicating that I had a 'difficult' problem and got no reply, that does not inspire confidence.
@Snoosemoose she may make more headway if she can work with her managers that are more critical. How old is your daughter? If you're involved with her therapy, it may be beneficial for you to go to a therapist and use IFS for yourself. There are times that we can inadvertently say & do things that impede a loved one's therapy. In my personal experience, I have noticed that people that have some extreme shaming parts, tend to be people pleasers, so if you are missing any of her progress because it's not fast enough, it can seem like there's no changem& she mayvfeel more shame because you're unhappy with her progress. Martha Sweezy has written a book specifically about guilt & shame that may be helpful.
Our higher power seems largely lacking in IFS model...it cannot work long term therefore...its built on shifting sands...
The 'Self' is directly linked to higher power. Its the higher self...
Just a DID system thief
Information is like air - no one can own it. When it’s helpful, it’s great when lots of people share their perspective and experience. I am so happy that the type of therapy that really works for DID is getting more attention for all degrees of dissociation and separation … it’s a brilliant system.
