IFS for Therapists #1 Self-Leadership

[@lauraheasliplincezpathways9319]

Wow, beautiful final sentiment. I'm feeling a bit blown away by the idea, "What if there's nothing wrong with me? What if there's nothing wrong with you?" Thanks so much for sharing these words!

"I've got a whole old of parts, as do we all - and somebody's gotta love them so it might as well be me."

[@jessiethrelkeld3628]

As a trauma coach in the NICU this is so insightful and yes using IFS for myself helps me coach others! Thank you!

[@LilachLavy-Emanuel]

Compassion as "an Axis" is beautifully said...

[@anttileskela2027]

Thank you for the videos! Felt good to hear this: "What if there's nothing wrong with ANY of us AND there are parts of us that need some help with what's going on with them because they're not having a good time"

Derek, you are a gift to our profession.

[@leonadawson2912]

Thank you for these great videos and the tremendous sensitivity and love you show for IFS. I love how you self-model - and hold your inner complexity with such affection.

[@martinebron2485]

the What IF there is nothing wrong with me resonates tremendously well with Tara Brach Radical Acceptance and Kristin Neff Self Compassion research, fascinating how it all makes sense from an IFS perspective!!

Marsha M. Linehan see also Radical Acceptance ... she is a long time Buddhist practitioner. Marsha M. Linehan (born May 5, 1943) is an American psychologist and author. She is the creator of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT),

Hello Derek, You are really clear in getting the IFS knowledge out there. I love to hear the way you teach and describe this model. These videos such an asset to the IFS community!! Thank you!!!

[@jonbuscall8901]

Great to see the mention of Beth's podcasts in there. Thank you so much.

[@eckhardtmilz1587]

Thank you! Amazing short teaching, learned a lot!

[@chriscurran2072]

The more I learn about IFS, the more hooked and intrigued I get (hmm, wonder what part that is?). Really appreciated the reflection on how empathy differs from compassion. Thank you.

[@WhistleKate]

Thank you, Derek for these videos!

[@kidsmoked]

I actually blamed caffeine for jumping in too early in a session the other day (with IFS). Thank you for bringing awareness to my 'excitable' part. :D

[@eliort404]

So beautiful🌹 thank you❤️

[@shellytjohnson]

He's incredibly skilled as a practitioner and teacher

[@annettesanchez4425]

Thank you for these helpful videos!!!

[@livinghealth6495]

the whole series is so insightful! Thank you, Derek! You mentioned that when making a decision you would choose the path of least resistance. I am curious how does intuition come into this? This would be making a decision from the self? In your experience, could parts also comment from an intuitive perspective or would it be only the self who has no agenda? Any links or resources to this would be most welcome. Veronika

Holding self-energy for 20/30 people a week transforms the person of the therapist. Anyone care to elaborate?

[@IFSCA]

Actively sitting and holding compassion in the presence of 20-30 people every week facilitates greater Self-leadership in the therapist. It is, in itself, a form of practice in which the therapists develops greater awareness of their own parts and is better able to appreciate the manifestations of parts in everyday life. Overhearing a person accusing their partner of drinking too much? A manager/firefighter polarity. My partner challenging me over politics? A part wanting to engage in a parts war - I can participate from my parts or not. The checkout person blended with an unhappy part with a people-pleasing manager nonetheless struggling to be pleasant? I can choose to acknowledge them and be kind...

This really leads me to believe the spiritual community pulls references from the scientific and psychology community. (Not a bad thing, spirituality is about all inclusive) IFS, paired with SE (Somatic Experience by Peter Levine), is a genius recipe for powerful healing for exceptional traumas (like what I have).
