IFS for Therapists #3 Working in Session

This video identifies client parts that commonly seek to direct the session. Tips are offered on how to discern and work with parts holding the dominant narrative so that other parts may be heard. This video features a guided meditation to facilitate more Self-energy being present (also available as a stand-alone video: Tips for Therapists 3A).
There is discussion about listening for polarities as well as how to assess for Self-energy as different parts present.

Love these videos! Im a new IFS therapist and these are SO helpful for my panicked parts!

[@yiravarga]

IFS is such an art form! The more I learn about my own parts, the more I realize how IFS is far less technical than other psychotherapies, and requires a high level of delicate, softness, intuitive, and powerful confident but kind presence.

I’m so appreciative for these sessions as they are rich in content and cover the different terrains

I am so happy I found these videos! fantastic stuff!

Wow! I haven't heard the "and" and "but" talked about in so long! It is such a major communication component and has made a huge difference in my relationships. "But" cuts off communication. "And" continues the conversation. Thank you, again, for sharing your experience and knowledge and heart.

Great stuff! Thanks, Derek! Keep them coming.

Thanks for your videos, so helpful

Derek, you are brilliant!! My spiritual teacher always asked us to replace our “but”s with “and”s. He said AND is the heart centered awareness, which is the same as IFS Self, with all those 8C’s and more.
