Internal Family Systems And Trauma Explained

[@pamcornelius9122]

This makes so much sense. I love how you don’t emphasize blame and being a victim, rather the focus is on hopefulness and practical steps to self improvement.

[@LewisPsychology]

That’s great to hear, thanks for your feedback. Best wishes, Teresa.

Dear Lewis, I met your youtube channel today. I have watched three videos on IFS. I am a psychotherapist living in Turkey. I am also a well known author and medical doctor. Your narration is clear and simple... Your visuals and graphics are the product of a special labor... More than professional help, I want you to know that you are doing me and my clients a special favor. I thank you very much and send my regards.

[@LewisPsychology]

Thank you so much for your kind words of support. Each short video takes me 10 to 20 hours to create so your kind words make it worth while. Best wishes, Teresa.

I am basically Sam in this story and that kid completely freaked me out like he was staring into my soul and looking directly at my exiles like he was one of them. I literally had to cover him up while I listened. I'm pretty sure he's going to show up in my nightmares. Thank you for the charts though. That is very helpful.

[@sappho9089]

[@LewisPsychology]

Thank you so much. I do plan on making more IFS videos. I really enjoyed making them. Best wishes, Teresa.

[@bumblelina77]

This is spot on. I cannot explain how i feel to my doctor but this is exactly what i need to explain to him.

[@LewisPsychology]

I’m pleased to hear it’s helpful. Best wishes, Teresa.

[@spacegirl226]

First time here. My counselor told me today about IFS, and I'm doing my research too see if it will help me get unstuck. Thanks for your videos. I can't wait to dive in.

[@ericwalters3426]

Its interesting, you can see these roles being played out in people with DID. Its all a resuls of trauma. But eventually the need to merge to heal all the way.

[@nataliesazatornil740]

Wow! Phenomenal video and explanation. Thank you and well done!

[@LewisPsychology]

[@LewisPsychology]

I'm pleased to hear the video was helpful to you. Best wishes, Teresa.

[@thomasbradford1605]

Do burdens=negative core beliefs? Thank you so much for your videos, they are so helpful.

[@LewisPsychology]

Very similar. Best wishes, Teresa.

[@IshikaMehta-g5t]

do all parts hold different burdens? if yes how do we identify and differentiate them

[@LewisPsychology]

That’s a very big question with a complicated and long winded answer. I think that can only be answered with a follow up video. Best wishes, Teresa.

[@RenaissanceRockerBoy]

Out of curiosity, what is the difference between this and alters developed as part of DID? There seems to be a very big overlap

[@LewisPsychology]

Thanks for your comment. IFS says that people who suffer from Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) only differ from the average person in terms of how separated their parts are. In other words, we’re all multiple.The average person is significantly more integrated in terms of how their inner parts or aspects function in comparison to someone with DID, but the basic structure is the same: we have an internal ‘family’ of parts that has its own interpersonal dynamics and tensions. There are many psychological models that recognise we are made up of many different parts. You may find my videos on Transactional Analysis (TA) of interest. Best wishes, Teresa.

My mother is very sick and dying, my mother has mental conditions and refuses to go to the doctor. I have CPTSD, depression, anxiety and schizotypy, I can't get psychological help in my local town. My family stole her and tried to kill her, I have no one, I don't know what to do. When this happened I was 18, but I feel like my mental age is younger than that. I'm alone and scared, what can I do?

[@LewisPsychology]

I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through. Lewis Psychology also offer online therapy, the link is in the description of this video. Warmest wishes, Teresa.

[@karenmazzola8758]

❤

[@iamaliveyoucantstopnow]

honestly this therapeutic modality does not appeal to me in the slightest. That's my protector speaking!

[@lilalto2036]

So im scared of people's anger, upsetting people, and making them cringe. Is that suitable for IFS therapy? Thanks

[@LewisPsychology]

Yes, very suitable for IFS. Best wishes, Teresa.

[@megshire16]

I am a psychologist from India. My brother has been suffering for a few years with a mood disorder but I feel he has history of trauma. He is under psychiatric treatment but I also feel that my mother has histrionic traits and my father narcissistic traits. I could be completely wrong but I want to help Him. I feel he has no sense of self and limited affect

[@megshire16]

Why I meant to bring up my parents traits is because he is the scapegoat in my family. He is older more fragile, introverted and always been “different” 😊

[@LewisPsychology]

I’m sorry to hear what your brother is going through. My best wishes to you both. Teresa.

[@megshire16]

Thank you so much for your wishes it means a lot 😊

[@gracepoint-vo1hy]

Gurdjeff had a similar idea although he didn't use clinical language
