ReParenting "talking directly" to our parts does work! My nervous system has started to transform as I integrate the parts and emotionally regulate. I'm 57 and started EMDR and a form of IFS therapy two years ago for untreated childhood C-PTSD. Thank you for the well informed IFS Model. 🙏 PS- as a result of this type of therapy my true self is able to hold space and develop an emotionally mature behavior model for my biokids ! ❤

Can you direct me to the "next" video?

Martin Kimberly Rodriguez Richard Johnson Daniel

I had a few sessions with BS therapist and there was no activation. What does it mean?

I have shared this video many times. and excellent and concise first introduction to the IFS model

Genuine question: I know IFS therapists have encountered the demonic but being secular/atheist naturally struggle to accept that the very thing they have just encountered actually exists...! When in IFS you encounter the demonic (a spiritual entity that needs rebuking or delivering) how do you engage with this without the authority of Christ…The name above ALL names..?

Not much explanation once activation spot is found (at 7' of the video).

Not bad description wise but… “healing?” We don’t heal others. That’s not our purview at all. Doctors heal, clinicians process, etc. Y’all using this healing bs are fetishistic and illogical.

Thank you for the thorough information! Very insightful

I appreciate how you began with the self, then exiles, then protectors.👍

Seems dubious

Thanks for the video. You make it so easy to understand. I had an experience with a psychologist that traumatized me; she was pushing me about my shadow, my exiled parts and I wasn't understanding what did she want. Finally, I felt forced to name parts like if I had multiple personalities. It took me a while to realize I was naming emotions, inner critic, traits like personalities. I felt so much pressure and I didn't know how to name them I used animals as symbols, for instance, swan was spirituality, dolphin was joy, lion was strengh...and my mother's voice was a boa constrictor...that psychotherapists almost drove me completely nuts. I still have to deal with my childhood traumas and dissociation but I was having terrible nightmares with reptiles. I don't have so many nightmares and when I have them, they have human faces, I am not dealing with a zoo.

A wonderful resource that I plan to share with my new parts work clients as a primer!

Yo Kenny IFS was originated adn developed by Richard Schwartz and you do not give him credit.

AWESOME explanation!

I am familiar with IFS from my therapy and from helping others while training for my msw - I was looking for exactly this video to send to someone who might benefit from it- I also felt quite emotional watching it. Really really great summary.

Thank you so much. One of the best videos explaining IFS.💯

Thank you for breaking it down this way. It was much easier to understand.

It is too late.

So is this a form of hypnosis?

Asking for a friend....... what is a Self? And where is it?

kinda like Scientology

Pseudociencia

Thanks Dr.Grand this excellent explanation!!

This was a excellent reintroduction to BSP - I have not used it in a while and want to bring it back into my practice.

Thank you for the information. It was helpful.

Not by Harvard Based Educators. It was developed by Richard Schwartz. (He may have went to Harvard, not sure about that.

I just heard about this yesterday, I am sure it’s well explained, but I am confused😂

Thank you for this extremely clear and succinct explanation of IFS. One of the best I've watched on KZbin so far, as I continue investigating this modality.

Thanks for the explanation. I was curious for Brainspotting. You've solved my query primarily.....

Even the videos of Schwarz itself does not explain the theory better than this, amazing work

Thank you. I'm learning this method and you explain it so easily. Thank you very much.

This was simply an awesome explanation of Brainspotting. I’m a newly trained Brainspotting therapist. This has been helpful for me in conceptualizing the Brainspotting process and will help me with explaining it to my clients. Thank you.

I recently read No Bad Parts & it was a lot to take in. This video really helped me to understand the types of parts more. I’m a visual person, so the diagrams here were helpful. Thank you!

I really love IFS as a story, but I've never been able to consciously contact any parts. I have been very frustrated trying to tangibly reach any parts. My inability to contact any parts, makes me wonder if this is all pretend. However, I also can't follow guided imagery or be hypothesized. An IFS advocate could say, my protectors are not allowing me to, but how do I know that's real or just a non provable statement? I should mention one last thing, that gives me hope about IFS. Many many years before I ever heard of IFS, I had an occurrence that really left an impact on me. Here is what happened... I was lying in bed in a semiconscious state, feeling bad about myself (a usual feeling for me), I was thinking about how dumb I was & going over a recent embarrassing moment I had, when ALL THE SUDDEN... I realized there was an automatic "background tape" "that was playing in my mind. It was a voice, but it wasn't coming for outside my head, it was internal dialogue. It was literally saying "you're stupid, you're an embarrassment, you mess everything up, everyone hates you" I remember thinking, as it was happening, this is a direct line of why I feel the way I feel! Even though this internal voice was telling me horrible things, I felt it was a breakthrough that I could tangibly see why I felt the way I felt about myself. HOWEVER, I almost immediately had another thought. That other thought was "this is what schizophrenics go through - I need to shut this down immediately before I end up hearing voices all the time!" I decided right then and there, I would rather live out the rest of my days in shyness and self loathing, then succumb to being a homeless insane person who hears voices. I have never been able to contact to contact that voice again, and I have been trying ever sense I discovered IFS over a decade ago.

This is awesome! How do you make this? I would like to customize the pic for different clients

I would like to share your video on tiktok, are you agree? are you there so i can write your name? Thank you

Fantastic video! Are you currently working with clients? How can I get in touch with you?

✅Good video

I am glad that you talked about the Dissociation part. That was the first part that surfaced in my IFS Therapy Session. My second session I backed off. I am not sure if that was the same part or a different part. Still trying to figure this out.

👍🏼

Ha! I’ve always been questioning why I’ve never dissociated although I got a traumatic childhood. This is the first time I’ve heard of sleeping as a way to dissociate - and damn have I slept! My dad always said to day care or the school that every time I got an injury, I became sleepy. And as a kid I always asked to go to bed way before my bed time. Now it all makes sense. Thank you! ❤️

I did this super briefly today and it legitimately scared me how my body just sorta violently reacted to me thinking about the question and how I felt

Thank you ever so much for this video! I am preparing to start brainspotting with my therapist and, shocker, I’m anxious. This was a very informative video that has already helped me immensely!

Wow, after reading No Bad Parts it sure is nice to watch this animation. Very helpful. Thank you!

Wow! What a thoughtful and informative video. It really helped me understand IFS. Your clear and concise presentation assisted me in having a fuller understanding of IFS. Blessings, e, ATX

I have just found your videos on trauma and IFS, they are really great! I was looking online for resources for my clients (adults and children - I use IFS and EMDR to treat trauma/PTSD/cPTSD). Your videos are so easy to watch and explain things so well, thank you!!!

Dissociation is a strategy & a true gift.

Is ART a good first training? I want to do a training...and trying to decide which to do first - Thank you!
