So wonderful to see how much you let her system steer, Derek - asking "what needs to happen here?", instead of trying to direct the session, very instructive, a great example. Thank you for sharing this! And thanks so much Tammy for sharing your process.
The transitions between the "steps" of an IFS session just flow so effortlessly. He has such respect and connection with her inner experience as it is happening.
Derek--it is a rare treasure to see a complete IFS session inclusive of exile unburdening...and so beautifully and masterfully facilitated. Thank you for your generosity in sharing this. 💙
A somatic counselor taught me about Internal Family System (IFS) - never knew about this until now - wondered why it's not well publicized? I felt so relieved that I'm not crazy dealing with multiple inner persons inside me. Was nervous that the medical society would diagnose me with incorrect labels - thankfully the tests came out negative but was left with more questions. Now, I understand I need IFS therapy. As a Deaf patient, as there any IFS specialist fluent in American Sign Language and can meet via Zoom? I wonder? Thank you both for demonstrating how IFS works, looks like and providing insights in how helpful the methods are. You both were amazing~
This was so extremely helpful to me as a client working with an ifs therapist. I have a perfectionist part that needs to know that she is doing it correctly and another part that questions if my therapist actually knows what he is doing. Seeing a real session and not something phony or scripted was invaluable. Thank you!
Interesting.. I have similar doubts about my therapist's abilities to work with my parts. I didn't have those feelings when doing EMDR, or other types of somatic work. How is it now? Did you work through it?
This was really helpful for my protective parts that have been fearing what an Ifs session might look like. Thank you both and Tammys parts were so touching 🙏🏻
I so appreciate her willingness to be vulnerable and allow it to be filmed and shared. This was incredibly helpful to me as someone just starting IFS. Not to mention I related too many of her parts. Derek's skill and explanations were perfect.
An incredibly effective demo of a powerful IFS session. I am studying the model and this kind of tool is invaluable as a teaching aid. Thrilling to watch a skilled and gifted practitioner at work. Thanks to Tammy for the willingness to heal (and share her process!). Thanks to Derek for the great tool.
ah amazing, so lovely to watch and to see how your inner world just looked like a wonderful place to be after that session x I admire both of your work❤❤❤
Thank you both for sharing this excellent example of IFS for those of us learning how to help others. Thank you, Tammy, and all your parts who shared this vulnerable session with us.
There is so much in this session, both as a practicioner and my own productive and needs attention parts got some love. Tammy and parts, thank you. This is my first time experiencing Derek - and I appreciate the teaching parts weaving in and out of the work (I often work in this way). Saving this one.
Fascinating.. But she did state that she needed a boundary in the beginning.. Self? Or protector part? Was so very touched to see you having the sadness of that little 4 year old. Helped me get in touch with my own little 4 year old. So beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
How wonderful that the both of you have shared this session in its entirety. As a clinician developing my skills with IFS, this has been very helpful. So grateful to the both of you🙏
Thanks so much Tammy. As I was listening to you I was so deeply touched. My parts would travelling with you and getting some collective insight into our system. It was beautiful to watch the care between you and Derek. And Derek, such beautiful space holding. I will have to watch it again and takes some notes!
Thankyou Derek for your skill and embodiment of Ifs and Tammy to your parts for their generosity in posting this full IFS session. Very valuable for learning and integrating
This is beautiful and so helpful. Thank you! I watched both the session and the version with your commentary and highly recommend them. Thank you for sharing yourselves and this wonderful example. Videos of skilled practitioners are so valuable, particularly when sharing with those who have trouble wrapping their heads around what can happen during the process.
I'm appreciating the offering of possibilities on which direction to go and who to work with plus the checking in that it was alright to go ahead with the part as well as the respectful stepping back from parts when necessary. Beautiful to watch the flow as well as the appreciation shown to parts for their efforts and acknowledgement of the sense it made.
Thank you so much. I am in Tasmania, Australia. I am so appreciative of this beautiful IFS material that Derek and Tammy have generously offered. I am learning all I can prior to taking a certification step or personal IFS therapy.
Sending a lot of appreciation to you both and your parts that want to get IFS to others. It was a lovely session and I picked up a lot regarding detecting parts and how to quickly alleviate protectors fears. Thank you both so much for sharing.
So great to see skillful honoring of protective parts. I just discovered IFS (as in yesterday) and am devouring content on it, and have walked through it a few times with myself. Honoring the protector, managers and other parts around the exiles is a big part of the incredible effectiveness of this process, I'm experiencing. This work is a revolutionary as the polyvagal theory for trauma healing!
This is exactly how I feel. When I discovered IFS last year I saw Oh! Somatic therapy for the body is what IFS is for the mind - (and the body, really) It was a hugely satisfying click. It felt like coming "home."
Thank you both for your generosity in wanting to share with us IFS learners. I enjoyed seeing all of the thoughtfulness and respect give towards all of the parts that showed up. A true gift!
Thank you for your generosity in sharing this session with us. I loved how you, Derek attuned to Tammy, and also shared your own sharing of your parts, it is such a beautiful way to co-regulate, non-pathologizing how parts can feel intense emotions, body-sensations and thoughts. Awesome time orientation to help her sad part know she is safe. Loved the question "what else has she been holding or been hard for her part?" - Loved the unblending process and checking in with her parts to Self and Self to Parts. Loved the releasing invitation into the elements. And leaving it with what else she might need to complete the release and resolution.
Thank you Tammy & Derek! This was a brilliant example of IFS for me to see, as I'm just starting out on my IFS training. It's a modality I feel very connected to, and am looking forward to learning more about how to use these techniques with my clients!
Thank you, both, for having the courage to share your parts with us. I'm new to IFS so am just watching videos as my way in but I always feel very emotional seeing anyone do it/be it. I love the humility in both of you Also like how the male therapist (sorry, can't see a name) has whole room showing behind as feels a bit more reassuring somehow
I am just beginning my IFS journey with my therapist and she recommended these youtube videos to me. Very powerful. I have been completely connected and engaged and have even cried as well as felt relief and joy for the 4 yr old. I really need this! At 43:01 "Good catch". What is he talking about?
Wow thank you so much for sharing this. It's so powerful for me. I'm definitely convinced about IFS and going to find a therapist who does it. 💗Bless you.
Wow this was really moving, thank you for sharing this. Was really touched in a deep way watching this, could relate to so much of what Tammy was sharing. So much love for you both.
Thanks so very much for doing this and sharing it. I have to sit with some of my own parts that are comparing my own work as slow and murky, and your example as clear, concise, complete. But I'm not overwhelmed. Just aware. Great place to be. :)
This was so wonderful to watch! Thank you both so much for sharing and doing this! I appreciate your vulnerability to open up and go inside, and share that with us. IFS is truly the healing way! Thank you both again! 🙏🙏

As a therapist new to IFS, it is very helpful to be able to watch a whole IFS session with someone who holds incredible Self energy. Thank you!
I'm in the same boat as you. This was so helpful!

So useful for me to understand how open I can be with my therapist.
Thank you very much. It's one thing to study theory, quite another to see its' application so skillfully done by both parties.
this is so beautiful. thank you so much for sharing this!

How are you going with this now Toni? I'm in Kuranda, currently in the Stepping Stones program.
So helpful to see what a successful IFS session looks like. I know that can take many forms but this is great. Thanks.
Sending a lot of appreciation to you both and your parts that want to get IFS to others. It was a lovely session and I picked up a lot regarding detecting parts and how to quickly alleviate protectors fears. Thank you both so much for sharing.
Such a gift to us, thank you! The session flowed beautifully, steps followed, and so much respect and honor given to her system.

Thank you Tammy for allowing this to be posted. It was so helpful for me as a new IFS therapist awaiting formal certification. 🙏
I am just beginning my IFS journey with my therapist and she recommended these youtube videos to me. Very powerful. I have been completely connected and engaged and have even cried as well as felt relief and joy for the 4 yr old. I really need this! At 43:01 "Good catch". What is he talking about?
This is so helpful! Thank you Derek, your videos have filled in many gaps in my understanding of IFS.
Yes many gaps filled.
Enormously helpful. Thank you both so so much. Can hardly wait to watch the teaching video you linked in the description.
I started crying 🙏❤️
This was such a great imprint of what a session looks and feels like - thank you 🙏🏻
Wonderful and helpful, Tammy showed great courage. I really appreciated it.
Thank you thank you thank you. I have learnt so much from watching this. Incredibly generous of you both x
