DICK SCHWARTZ on IFS, Psychedelics, and the Spirit World!

Not what you expect!
We are excited to share this groundbreaking interview with Dick Schwartz, one of the founding fathers of current psychotherapy and creator of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) method of psychotherapy used in the MAPS-sponsored MDMA trials.
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.

Richard is the real thing, it’s so palpable. Thank you so much for this conversation, I have been in these experiences for many years, and it’s so good to hear it all articulated instead of feeling alone in the journey. Much gratitude.

Very interesting! People don’t yet talk about IFS and past life experiences… in my recent experience with IFS ,it took me naturally to it… a combination with dr. Brian Weiss work , psychedelics and IFS , would be in my view the therapy of the new Era- future.

Well, you are mentioning all the cool things that excite me in this field! Past lives, psychedelics and IFS are quite agreeable in my view!

I don’t think IFS therapy should be done in a group. It’s a vulnerable space that deserves respect, privacy, and confidentiality. The therapist is in a privileged role. No spectators.
