I am a retired family therapist (29 years of practice). Your style incorporates the best of Carl Rogers, Milton Erickson, and Virginia Satir. The DSM is sadly elitest propaganda that stigmatizes the person, adding more trauma to the already traumatised. Judgement is not welcome in the therapeutic setting, for when it enters love is locked out and healing impossible. Thank you for your creative and honest approach. Much love to both of you!
I fully agree.. We have been going in the wrong direction.... I work on a BHU at a hospital and do my best to use this concept when working with pts.... I do hope IFS continues to grow in wider application for the good of so many suffering....
Thank you for your kind words and recognition, @marktourtellotte1336. Coming from someone with extensive experience in family therapy, this means a lot 😘 Your reflection on the importance of a non-judgmental approach in therapy resonates deeply with us. We strive to create a space where empathy, understanding, and genuine connection facilitate healing, drawing inspiration from the foundational work of Carl Rogers, Milton Erickson, and Virginia Satir. It's crucial to move beyond the limitations and labels that can inadvertently hinder the healing process. Your support and acknowledgement of our approach are truly appreciated. Much love and gratitude to you as well!
Heartbreaking that this wasn’t released to us in the 80’s. So late to this understanding at 53. Sick society. Sick teachers, sick therapists and extremely sick parents. 🤢 Grateful tears.
I think Dick has mentioned he began IFS around 1982 or 1983. It was very much under the radar. I guess society wasn’t ready for this modality until nowadays in the 21st century. Perhaps the 2020 pandemic awakened people to their various traumas and now IFS is really getting recognition.
@@beholden2874 we as teenagers were beyond ready for change and had environmental and geopolitical awareness. The adults hated that. The majority of 80’s parents and other religious whack jobs called us actual Satanists and were all about subliminal messages in music. lol We were like, okay game on hail Satan then. 😏
What a wonderful humility where he is being a conduit for wisdom and not a arrogant creater of the concept of IFs . Thanks to u both for a great interview With gratitude
This is a fantastic interview. I love the no-nonsense style of the interviewer and her depth of understanding of IFS, which makes her questions so much more interesting and thoughtful. And thank you, Dick Schwartz, for explaining IFS so clearly. There is more nuance to implementing IFS than I expected. It's pretty wonderful and uplifting. Thanks again for sharing!
The questions were insightful and helpful in helping to explain the IFS system.... also thank you for this live demo which helps demonstrate how smoothly and lovely this therapy can work... I have been using this therapy and can say this is by far the most effective method I have found to help people get to breakthrough changes in their mental health
excelent interview. Now I know who discovered all this. After 30 or so meds and self medicating, I have found the reason for the things that were stuck. thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooo much
Thank you so much for this! Thank you for your courage in being vulnerable to allow for this demonstration. I'm a psychotherapist located in Brasil, experimenting with IFS and working my way through getting formal training on it - kind of hard at the moment being in a majority world country where IFS is not really known, so I rely a lot on these demonstrations. The other day I also invited the Spirits of ancestors into the session, but I was not sure if that was a thing. It feels so validating to see Richard doing this here! And to Richard Schwartz, I am so grateful for your curiosity and courage to develop such a beautiful transformational model. Thank you for being so devoted to this path, I can't wait to learn more from you.
I did a training in Clinical hypnosis in 2008 in South Africa, it was called Ego states hypnotherapy with exactly the same principles in terms of parts, which fixed at ages when adverse experiences occurred.
Watching 2 beautiful people sharing and presenting from a place of so much Self energy is inspiring! I thank the Universe for the parts of both of you that allowed this humble work to be shared.
I liked seeing ifs happen in real time, thank you for the demonstration. I hope I can keep learning about it and start doing it for myself so that I might also experience something amazing.
By the way, IFS therapy is so deep yet sumple and fantastic. I am looking right now for an IFS therapist which with Dr. Palmer's input, al may be well. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏❤🕊
This was an excellent interview. You kept it very simple. I have been involved with IFS for 3 years now and it’s a very spiritually oriented healing practice. It takes willingness and intent to work with parts. However. I find it can be confusing with so many different parts of ourselves. This interview simplified the process especially when Dick did the process with you on grief. To me the simpler the better when it comes to IFS. I am a new subscriber now. Good work 👍
IFS is a profoundly effective and healing way of working with trauma and emotional/mental imbalances, from working with oneself, and coaching and psychotherapy with others. From the functional medical perspective, as a manual therapist, medical intuitive and nutrition coach for almost 30 years, as well as having my own numerous mind-body symptoms that have healed with IFS/somatic awareness work, I would say that mostly everyone has emotional trauma at the root of their health problems, BUT people need to have adequate nutrition resources and lifestyle factors that support healthy physiological functioning, mitochandria, etc. However, if the stress resolves the body will heal. Virtually everyone who has spent any significant time alive on earth carries pathogens (lyme, strept, candida, viruses, etc) but they can't cause symptoms when the terrain is healthy and the terrain will be healthy when the system isn't under chronic psychological stress. Also recent research shows that it's the brain that creates pain and inflammation when it detects a threat, the vast majority of which is exile burdens. Fascinating!
For healthy mitochondria look up Dr. Christopher Palmer MD. He's made a breakthrough in mental health through what we eat that can heal the mind/body at a deep organic level.
The model is simple but the paradigm shift that places the negative aspects of a personality as elements that are trying to help keep a person safe therefore not pathological is profound
I am really resonating with what you are saying about the caretakers.. Growing up with 2 alcoholics, I was the one getting sick all the time.. Ear infections in first grade and allergies and asthma and my health issues continued through my whole life.. My experience is that it wasn't about me caretaking them but more about the neglect from them not ever being there for me..
When you were talking about health issues this is kind of what I was saying before.. The only thing is if it is a part that is trying to communicate with me I think that part goes into hiding from me..
Regarding what he says about the arthritis study was he saying that the part that wanted the participants to have a life created the arthritis pain to force the participant to take of themselves? Fascinating stuff! Thanks to both of you! :)
21:15 thinking of the Self as compassionate and healthy IS found in eastern spirituality. Your examples don’t paint a full picture. The IFS self to me is clearly taken from the pure Self of eastern spiritual traditions. This is not new or news. However, in general, adding the pure Self into the context of psychotherapy the way the IFS system does is a great, innovative and helpful evolutionary step.
@@TheMindHealth360Show I really enjoyed your questions, I've watched many interviews with Richard Schwartz, but you asked a lot of good, and very interesting questions that I haven't seen other interviewers ask, much appreciated
Interested in the next 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.
Great podcast ... as a psychotherapist I would be very keen on learning more about IFS. I know thos would be most valuable to my clients ... I'm based in the UK. Are there courses available here? Many thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
I had a really bad perimenopause, /menopause, but the issues I faced that were not purely oestrogen related in a biological sense were ALWAYS there. It was the relative weakness of the system that allowed all those other symptoms to resurface.. My 'dust' allergy is intricately related to being brought up in a smoky and stressful atmosphere for the first six months of my life.. those experiences can only be experienced somatically without any thoughts or even feelings in the sense that I can label them. Therefore, those parts active then carry those experiences and can be triggered by seeing dust motes in the air. If I don't see them then my response is largely muted totally. It is the visual appreciation of the dust that triggers ALL of the feelings and symptoms, be they physical, somatic or 'emotional'.
What I am saying is really, is to be 'open' to the possibility of things that may not be currently your belief to be proved to be true, or true for some.
Thank you for sharing your experience, @joanniemuskett3266. It's deeply insightful to hear how perimenopause and menopause brought pre-existing issues to the forefront for you, especially in ways that aren't solely tied to estrogen levels. Stress can manifest somatically, with triggers like dust motes igniting a complex mix of responses. Your experience is a valuable reminder of the layered complexity of our systems and the significance of holistic approaches in health and wellness ❤ We hope you keep listening to our podcast and we hope it helps 👐
I agree ifs is amazing. However, I hope the popularity is not due to everyone thinking they have now found a form of therapy which is pain free...i hope the simplicity of the model doesn't dumb down the healing process , which is always difficult, real change is always involves a certain amount of pain; often a lot. Although the model may be simple and accurate it doesn't mean that the healing process is anything but.
The discussion about various physical maladies/conditions being capable of healing with this therapy pairs incredibly well with Alan Gordon’s book, The Way Out. Highly recommend! Also is reminiscent of the late John Sarno’s work and Howard Schubiner’s too.
I would really like to hear how the "parts" differ from the "parts" associated with D. I. D. (commonly called Multiple Personality Disorder) because the verbiage is the same. With D.I.D. when the parts take over, the host most often disappears and when the host personality returns they discover they are missing time, sometimes days or weeks. And have there been any positive results in treating D. I. D with IFS?
I'm just discovering IFS, but some thoughts from my admittedly brief investigation: the Self is experienced when the Parts step back out of being dominant (and they do this by being heard & helped to unburden); the Self is always there, just obscured when Exiles and Parts are more on the surface or we're blended with them, thinking they ARE us; the Self arises spontaneously as we make space for it, through allowing contact that is compassionate & curious towards the surface Parts; when our heart is open in the moment, non-judging, having no agenda, that IS the Self; is your contact with Self blocked by a sense of striving? That strivingness could be a Part, like a Manager? Very new to this, so please take this as a newbie grappling with your question as it inspired my own curiosity! Best wishes 🙂
Clarifying the Concept of the Self in IFS Hold on, I see something here that needs addressing. In this discussion, it seems that there’s an impression that Internal Family Systems (IFS) has invented the concept of the Self as a pure, undamaged core. This is not accurate. Many spiritual traditions have long held the view of the Self or higher Self as inherently pure and untouched by life’s circumstances. For example, Hinduism describes the Atman as the true self, eternal and unchanging, while Buddhism speaks of Buddha-nature as an inherent purity within everyone. IFS aligns with these traditions by recognizing the Self as embodying qualities such as calmness, compassion, and clarity. It serves as an internal leader, guiding and healing our parts with wisdom and love. This perspective isn’t unique to IFS but is a continuation of ancient spiritual understandings. Let’s acknowledge the rich heritage of this concept and see IFS as part of a broader tradition of recognizing the Self’s inherent purity and resilience.
They touched on it during the interview, meditation and psychedelics can show us these parts and ifs takes the extra step of interacting with our parts and healing their trauma responses.
I don’t really know what i’m talking about so just see if this makes sense to you but i think there is a very big difference between uncovering your stuff alone and with another person, there are different things that come out in different scenarios, the purpose of some parts can be more clear when talking with another person as some parts are tailored for interpersonal relationships
I am a retired family therapist (29 years of practice). Your style incorporates the best of Carl Rogers, Milton Erickson, and Virginia Satir. The DSM is sadly elitest propaganda that stigmatizes the person, adding more trauma to the already traumatised. Judgement is not welcome in the therapeutic setting, for when it enters love is locked out and healing impossible. Thank you for your creative and honest approach. Much love to both of you!

IFS allows me to find self-compassion which leads to so much more. Glad that Richard Schwartz is being recognized for his creation. Thank you
Yes, I would have been greatly helped by this in my 20’s! Now 52, but better late than never !
Thank you for taking the time to listen, we couldn't agree more, it is never too late to start something new!

Hey everyone! I did an IFS course here: ua-cam.com/video/g-cnOFvGUWs/v-deo.html
So is Dick saying there is no such thing as bad?
How does he know that we become unburdened when we die? Calling on the dead? You’ve lost me.
