Internal Family Systems And Trauma Explained

[@heppsikoloji8359]

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.

[@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.

[@sappho9089]

Nice vid, thank you. The world needs more IFS!

[@LewisPsychology]

Thank you so much. I’m a big fan of IFS. 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.

[@LewisPsychology]

Wishing you all the best with your therapy. Best wishes, Teresa.

[@dianehill6059]

[@catherinewilson1079]

[@LewisPsychology]

Thank you for your kind words of support. Best wishes, Teresa.

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.

[@AsianDHD23]

This is an incredible video thanks so much it makes sense for me as I can relate to sams experience of trauma.

[@LewisPsychology]

You're so welcome! Best wishes, Teresa.

[@shannonstone865]

Hi I'm looking for an ifs therapist in Washington state outside Seattle I have Medicare insurance if anybody has any ideas please help.

[@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.

[@andreabroomfiled3244]

This is fascinating. Thank you.

[@LewisPsychology]

That’s great to hear Andrea. Best wishes, Teresa.

[@LewisPsychology]

Thank you. Best wishes, Teresa.

[@kelseyloushin1343]

Excellent and very helpful. Likely the best video I have seen to describe the parts. Thank you!

[@LewisPsychology]

Wow, thank you for your kind words of support. Best wishes, Teresa.

[@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.

[@diradeb]

Many of parts enjoyed listening to your explanation, Teresa

[@LewisPsychology]

Fantastic. Best wishes, Teresa.

[@starprice7389]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@thomasbradford1605]

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

[@LewisPsychology]

Very similar. Best wishes, Teresa.

[@jimmyteo6421]

Thanks!

[@LewisPsychology]

Thank you for your kind monetary support, it’s greatly appreciated. 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.

[@nataliesazatornil740]

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

[@LewisPsychology]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for your kind words of support. Best wishes, Teresa.

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 😊
