Heal Your Wounded Parts: IFS and Emotional Liberation - Dr Richard Schwartz

[@DianahHolcomb]

This is amazing therapy and I am thankful for finding IFS therapy. Every therapy doesn't work for everyone and it takes compassion for every part of yourself even the parts we don't want to see . I've finally realized that loving myself means loving every part of me

[@AlchemicalArtist]

Only halfway thru so far and this video has already been life-changing. Exactly what I've needed to hear to unlock the rest of my healing

What happened to the Ram Dass chillstep- path of the heart?

[@lisaschwartz500]

Great interview. You asked insightful questions. I’ve been studying IFS and beginning to use it for myself and it’s a brilliant and compassionate way to move through my life.

[@TinaSotis]

This is making so much sense. It's such a wise and compassionate way towards healing.

[@Ellenweiss1]

My interest in IFS is really escalating. Thank you everyone who is explaining this in different ways for us to get deeper and deeper understanding. Since it can be hard to find access to the work if you are financially challenged or have difficulty learning things without an external teacher.

[@truerosie]

I found his latest book in my local library.

[@edheldude]

Have you checked out the book _Self-Therapy_ by Jay Earley?

[@Ellenweiss1]

I have, checked out some books. But find it hard to do it that way, I am making some progress tho......thanks!!@@edheldude

[@AJyogi108]

The workbook on self therapy is amazing . Also Dr. Schwartz latest book No bad parts ❤

[@lisabarnetson1362]

Scheduled my first IFS session for Wdenesday!! So excited.

[@LoveLeigh313]

How’s it going?

[@MishMacky]

Its no, "walk in the park." In fact it's excruciatingly painful work.

[@lezahboyce6408]

Do you think it's worth doing? Hope it's going well for you 💜

[@thehappiness2741]

How could you book the session could you give us more information

[@Grungefan2018]

Has it worked ? Looks like it's been a year. Just wondering if you've had some decent progress ? Thank you so much

[@michelle13100]

The yoga/tai chi studio Body &Brain does a workshop that is called Finding True Self that is similar to the Self that Dr. Richard Shwartz is describing. Really interesting, there they do more body work to help get out of the mind first to connect. It would be interesting to combine the two.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥✨🔥 Awsome intervew

[@khansherani]

In my case it looks to me a preverbal trauma, like I was not accepted, validated, or something wrong happened some loss happened and there is a lot of confusion around this loss and grief situation. I can guess my mother's post partem depression or loneliness lack of human contact during my infancy. That emotional imprint of loss, lack of joy, lack of welcoming into the world is feeling like a pain deep in my heart. If I feel this pain, that I am doing it since last 1 yr, welcome the pain, do breath work on the pain and then provide the love, compassion and welcoming needed for the infant...... will it resolve my emotional pain issue of last 30 yrs???

[@Star-dj1kw]

✅ very good

[@TheCADPOD-wn4qk]

What if it is too late to fix the damages made? What to do the?

[@LoveLeigh313]

It’s never too late

My daughter did IFS therapy with very experienced therapists on a weekly basis for 3 years. She got nowhere with unburdening or reintegrating her exile: IFS seems to be very good at explaining the problem, but wholly ineffective at providing a solution.

[@truerosie]

It has worked v well for many people, but no therapy model works for everyone. Therapists need more than one model in their toolbox. 3 years is way too long, she should have been referred on.

[@edheldude]

Eh, it takes time to do the work. You have to first work with the managers to regain trust before going anywhere close to the exiles.

[@Snoosemoose]

@@edheldude thanks for your reply but, over 3 years, the therapist(s) have tried these things. For me, for a therapy to be effective, it has be able to overcome the natural resistance to change of the patient's 'managers' who inevitably are attempting to keep the patient 'safe'. If it can't do that, then the result is that the patient's existing feelings of shame (which are often the root of the problem in the first place) are only increased by the shame of not being a good enough patient... I wonder is there any real evidence that this therapy works for anybody who has non-trivial problems.

[@Snoosemoose]

@truerosie Thanks but, is there any real hard evidence that it has worked very well for many people? (other than simplistic problems) - I find no statistics on-line, but I find hundreds of therapists charging $80 an hour plus for therapy. I'm beginning to wonder if this is actually just another pseudoscience fueled cash-grab, preying on the vulnerable and desperate. Even assuming that is not the case, after a couple of years I contacted the Institute requesting details of a 'highly experienced' IFS therapist, I contacted the person recommended twice indicating that I had a 'difficult' problem and got no reply, that does not inspire confidence.

[@jessieprahmmiles6406]

​@Snoosemoose she may make more headway if she can work with her managers that are more critical. How old is your daughter? If you're involved with her therapy, it may be beneficial for you to go to a therapist and use IFS for yourself. There are times that we can inadvertently say & do things that impede a loved one's therapy. In my personal experience, I have noticed that people that have some extreme shaming parts, tend to be people pleasers, so if you are missing any of her progress because it's not fast enough, it can seem like there's no changem& she mayvfeel more shame because you're unhappy with her progress. Martha Sweezy has written a book specifically about guilt & shame that may be helpful.

Our higher power seems largely lacking in IFS model...it cannot work long term therefore...its built on shifting sands...

[@ravenart7767]

The 'Self' is directly linked to higher power. Its the higher self...

[@RhondaWalker-i4l]

Just a DID system thief

[@Shelly-cp7gj]

Information is like air - no one can own it. When it’s helpful, it’s great when lots of people share their perspective and experience. I am so happy that the type of therapy that really works for DID is getting more attention for all degrees of dissociation and separation … it’s a brilliant system.
