I watched Richard Schwartz give a demonstration... And as I have been over 40years on the path of self discovery ... I tried a session by myself today and I reconnected with my child in a deeper way... Thank you and to Richard Schwartz for his demonstrations
From my most scared part, I really want to thank you! The point you made about not taking it too literal was comforting enough so that I could feel curious enough to give my parts a chance to really be and feel.
Omgoodness! The culmination of all my studies!🎉
I like this exercise, and the idea of letting a scared part fully tell the story of its fear isn't something I've seen in other IFS material.
It actually reminds me of CBT Worry Exposure exercises for generalized anxiety, though the thought of leaning into the scary story via parts work seems more engaging to me.
Thank you for this. I fear losing control while driving so I don’t anymore. I suffer with cPTSD and chronic Lyme disease. My life is very restricted because of this. I love ifs unfortunately my therapist just left me hanging after her office didn’t take my insurance anymore. I really appreciate the free content. I’m so tired of fear running my life.
I am surprised no comments while fear plagues everyone... Thank you again
I like this. Sometimes I do IFS in the more standard protocol and sometimes I just stay present for a part/s or the whole system, just noticing them in the body and holding them. Both are good
That’s very interesting. The end of your video sounds like a puzzle piece I felt was missing for a while. It sounds like the process is more about acceptance-going to the place that the part fears most and then letting go and knowing you’ll be ok even if that thing happens.
Is that on target with what you’re conveying?
Awesome video.
You are so right. We need to treat our parts conceptually and not as concrete entities. This also makes it easier to introduce this approach to integrating fear.
Original, Bite-Sized, Clear & Direct ✅✅✅
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you! Plus I liked your philosophy & approach to IFS. I’ve subscribed to your channel & look forward to learning more from you.
Thank you so much … a very clear explanation .
This was a fantastic video on understanding how to put IFS model into practice. Thank you!!!
Thank you, Conor. This was spot on great! So valuable I can't put into words!
Thank you .. very well presented... Fear of rejection has been my companion all my life... It disrupted life.. I wrote a book on fear 17 years ago .. but it is stubbornly there... Accepting fear with no resistance works but often resistance springs up and that is where ifs helps because it addresses the traumatized child within to feel safer and accepting through the ifs model of meeting the child making peace with it in and in my case embrace it... However this is a process that needs reinforcing by repetition... This where I seem to fail because I get distracted from revisiting the inner child and connect to it again.... Ifs is something I came across recently... Thank you
Any comments as to where I am going wrong???thank you
Thank you Connor, you're videos are always very insightful.

Thank you!!! This si so helpful
Thanks for this
Your clarity and insight into IFS is amazing and incredibly helpful, Conor. I’m just beginning my self therapy journey with IFS and your videos started popping up (because of viewing other IFS videos) and discovering your approach is a total godsend! I’m so grateful for all that you’re sharing on your UA-cam channel and for how truly gifted you are as a communicator and caring IFS expert. I have no doubt you are making a difference for so many people, myself included. Thank you!
Ty very useful 🙏
thank you so much
wow, i just came upon your video. I feel an excitement about feeling empowered in my own integration journey! Thank you for this share. :) When c0vid happened my pelvis went into lockdown which made and continues to make walking very challenging. I have explored body work and looked at what is trapped in this part of my body. Asking myself how i can feel more empowered in my body. i am still curious as i continue to navigate the pain i feel in my pelvis. This pain is affecting me moving forward with ease. The pain affecting the choices i am making in relationship to the work i desire to do.
Thank you❤
thank you
You are awsome buddy. Your knowledge and especially PRACTICAL knowledge on IFS is fantastic ! Please carry on your service to the world... btw do you do therapy online ? Many thanks.
Hello!
Last night I did this exercise for the first time and I spent almost an hour. I let myself be carried away by fear and ended up accepting it. Everything was going well but when I opened my eyes, I had a panic attack. It was terrifying. I don't know what could have happened and I don't know how I could try it again in a safer way so that I don't have this feeling or if I shouldn't try it again because it is too much for me at the moment. Thank you in advance!
I have many timelines / narratives connected to different parts in me, quite messy and stressful
I have a part that fears hes already dead. That is intense
Do you do IFS therapy if someone doesn’t want to start off on their own?

Do you mean to tell me that you are not related to Oscar Isaac? 😳
