Description

As a young therapist, I frequently struggled to get outcomes. I suppressed my client’s internal feelings in order to control the painful symptoms I was witnessing, which resulted in heated confrontations and frustration rather than development.

When I began paying close attention to my clients, I realized the key to healing and change…

As clients discussed their many parts (and how the parts felt pain and emotions), I recognized that this was the key – we needed to release each part from the trauma, abuse, attachment injuries, and suffering that they were experiencing.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) has been clinically proven to be successful in treating a wide range of mental health disorders, including trauma, addiction, anxiety, and depression, and is one of the fastest-growing techniques in therapy.

IFS, which has been praised by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, will change your customers’ life as they learn to heal themselves. There will be no more therapist commands or insights; instead, IFS will develop a relationship with your client that will result in long-term recovery.

Please join me in this one-of-a-kind recording. I’ll provide you with useful feedback, guided teaching, and compelling in-session videos of IFS in action. I want to teach you the skills you’ll need to apply IFS so you may enhance your work in the therapy room and make a difference in your clients’ lives.

The IFS Method

Step 1: Determine the Diagnosis and Symptoms

Diagnoses include PTSD, anxiety, depression, drug misuse, and eating disorders.
Use meditative techniques.
Find the symptom and concentrate on its dread.
Distancing the person from the symptom
Develop an interest in it.
Discover the true cause of the ailment.

Step 2: Gain Access to Internal Strengths and Healing Resources

Transition from defensiveness to curiosity
Access compassion to open the doors to healing. Encourage “internal attachment” practice.
Redefining the “Self” of the therapist-countertransference

Step 3: Traumatic Wound Healing

There are three stages to mending a wound:
Consider the anguish.
Remove the damaged part of yourself from the past and let go of your feelings, ideas, and beliefs.

Richard Schwartz, Ph.D., received his Ph.D. in marriage and family therapy from Purdue University, after which he began a long association with the Institute for Juvenile Research at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and more recently with The Family Institute at Northwestern University, where he was appointed associate professor. He co-wrote Family Therapy: Concepts and Methods with Michael Nichols, the most frequently used family therapy text in the United States.

Dr. Schwartz created Internal Family Systems in response to clients’ statements of feeling various elements of oneself, many of which were intense. He discovered that when these parts felt comfortable and their worries were addressed, they were less disruptive and willing to follow the wise guidance of what Dr. Schwartz came to refer to as the “Self.” In establishing IFS, he noted that, like in systemic family theory, components take on distinct functions that help shape the clients’ inner world. The coordinating Self, who possesses virtues like as confidence, openness, and compassion, serves as a focal point for the many parts to congregate. Because IFS identifies the root of the client’s healing, the therapist is free to focus on directing the client’s connection to his or her actual Self and assisting the client in utilizing its knowledge. This technique transforms IFS into a non-pathologizing, positive paradigm for psychotherapy. It offers an alternate view of psychic functioning and healing, allowing for novel approaches to treating clients’ symptoms and suffering.

Richard Schwartz established The Center for Self Leadership in Oak Park, Illinois, in 2000. Dr. Schwartz has been a featured speaker for numerous national psychotherapy groups, and he is a fellow of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, as well as serving on the editorial boards of four professional publications. He has written four books and more than 50 papers regarding IFS. Internal Family Systems Skills Training Manual (PESI, 2017), Internal Family Systems Therapy (Guilford Press, 1997), Introduction to the Internal Family Systems Model (Tarcher, 2001), The Mosaic Mind (with Regina Goulding) (Trailheads, 2003), and Metaframeworks (with Doug Breunlin and Betty Karrer) are among his books (Jossey-Bass, 1997). Dr. Schwartz lives and works in Brookline, MA, and is a member of the Harvard School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry faculty.
