Still and EVER MORE relevant today... almost a year later.... (TY, RS!)

[@jessicamceachern23]

I love this community so much, so much genuine care and wisdom. Feeling grateful to be a part of it. Thank you Dick!

[@nancyv2169]

Thank you Dick! I have been feeling pretty isolated and helpless and this practice allowed me to feel connected and to believe that we have accomplished something by bringing more Self energy to the world. Blessing to all.

[@Tascountrygirl]

I am in Australia and have recently found IFS online and am learning and practising. Thank you so much.

[@jannmartin4010]

Thank you for sharing this comforting, generous, warm and inspiring moment with us.

[@sandybramall5508]

I love listening to your work. Soothing to my parts 🤍🤍💜🦋

[@patriciarich6252]

Thank you Dick for such authentic and deep leadership through sharing wisdom and vulnerability. I have missed being in community with IFS people at this time, and look forward to when we can gather in person again. The model has been my rudder moving through these roiling seas. Wishing you and Jeanne and your loved ones safety, health, and growth. I love the reminder of how our collective unblending and Self energy heals the world.

[@jennifergreene6079]

Thank you for this soothing IFS guided partswork! I have been using IFS with all of my panicked and anxious clients sheltering at home; it has been really effective at calming them down. They've been thanking me with such gratitude, but the real thanks goes to you!

[@sherececocco]

World peace through Self understanding😊

[@zendancer330]

This was extraordinarily helpful. I provide IFS tx. to my clients throughout the week, but I really needed to take time to be a receiver at this time to increase presence of Self, compassion, and love. Thank you.

[@nicolaloder2969]

Thanks for your beautiful words, ideas. love, calm and compassion. Very valuable. I love the idea of parts, so tangibly helpful. Sending love.

[@stephensardella9965]

The exercise was very helpful Dick, your pace worked fine for me. Got in touch with a controlling part, and as I tried to access self, I became aware that that I if come from self, I would have to trust others. This got me in touch with a 5 year old that didn't trust my parents to give me healthy guidance, so I had the false notion that I had to take control..... It helped to appreciate and love my 5 year old that had to work so hard all my life.....Thank you!

[@toddnorthcrux1120]

Thank you! Please continue to be well, and looking forward to more like this.

[@MFLapin]

Thank you. This work is so beautiful & truly caring to all our parts. Healing by wholeness in action.

[@psychotherapyvaughanlarysa405]

Thank you Dick so much for your contribution into the world! I Love IFS and helped myself and many clients. It is essence at this time! Blessings

[@juliasullivan8150]

Thank you, Dick. Chris and I are both experiencing profound Self-led ripple effects in the communities we serve and the communities with which we identify. As part of my work bringing Self leadership to business, I am launching a 12-session Zoom series on "Leadership in a Global Crisis" featuring corporate leaders across multiple domains. Your webinar reminded me of the relevance of IFS at the level of any human system. Our work on our Selves ripples out to our loved ones, our communities, and our world. We stand committed to deepening our work as "hope merchants" and spreading your message everywhere we go. Deep thanks. Much love.

[@myralhf]

You spoke my words for where we are with the silver lining. My parts are much more free today. That allows for Self to be more free and have more space. Love and agree with your excerpt.

[@melissacaetanoviveremconex4344]

Thanks for all your love and inspiration, Dick!

[@japearson2]

This was really helpful at this time. Thanks for your time, your expertise, your generosity, your love, and your compassion.

[@TheAbergel]

Just listening to it again for the second time. So helpful. Thank you.

[@saleem5367]

Thank you Dick, I continue to be inspired by the depth of your work- particularly in these challenging times for humanity and what has been called The Great Turning. The world needs the C qualities now more than ever.

[@claudiapenna8778]

Thank you so very much for posting this replay so promptly, as I missed the live version last night. I've heard a phrase, "foxhole prayer", referring to people only considering the spiritual, calling out to a god or higher power only when in great fear or pain. I would guess that many, many people all over the world are now surrendering to things Spiritual. And like you say, getting through these terrible, scary circumstances with Courage, Clarity, with Self - the Spirit within all of us. I'm immensely grateful to have IFS tools, especially today!! Thank you, thank you!!

[@clareunderwood6690]

Thank you for this powerful talk and for the meditations. I really love your calm, wise energy. This was very healing for me to listen to.

[@Moony0102]

Thank you very much Dick for this healing session. I did not completely integrate that part but it revealed to me deep seated pains that I was totally unaware of. I'll need to work some more with it but just wanted to thank you for your generosity, and your presence that certainly reverberates throughout the session. Much love.

[@lynnross5983]

Wonderful! Thank you. The actual exercises are so useful, steps to how to integrate these parts. Such a relief, I can feel them all inside knowing they'll be able to be heard and how good that feels.

[@vamama100]

Thank you Sir, I see this is working on all levels. I will heal the parts that got stuck. I have RA and Sjogren's and diacus hernia, and I want to break free from all of these disabeled structures inside, broken body and joints and bones. I need to be healthy. Thank you!

[@helenagreen3040]

Blessings & Gratitude

[@VelvetCrone]

Wow. Thanks. It's nice to see someone connecting the dots! Thanks for being hopeful,

[@andreawhitmore3159]

Thank you so much Dick. I finally feel like I can breathe!

[@jemwxyz]

Thank You Dick. I just listened to this today. Very healing and powerful! Much GRATITUDE!❤💕😚

[@Heiko_Cochius]

Thank you! I feel very priviledged to be able to take part in this meditation. It was very inspiring and helpful.

[@MyTamsin]

New to ifs but the fact that I got this (at this time) really speaks to the part of me that is hopeful. Thanks for your wise and kind words. Time to cuddle wife and make tea and be at peace knowing what you’re doing is really changing lives. Very powerful. X

[@valerierouetleduc5821]

Thanks for all you brings to ouf world ! Valérie IFS therapist

[@janemalickalden]

I can not thank you enough. I was very recently really introduced to IFS at the 2 day seminar on July 27 and 28th. I already know more about myself and have in small ways incorporated parts of the model seamlessly into the therapy of some clients. Wishing I could put work on hold to learn as much about IFS as I am able. I tend to think a lot about systems: micro and macro and so appreciate how you embrace parts and whole and teach us to do the same. Wishing you good health and safety.

[@malgorzatamichaniak8667]

Wonderful, thank you, I got bad days constantly worrying, I'm doing therapy recently but this time meanwhile I felt overwhelm and scared. I did this medication and I feel better. I have accessed young scared parts 6years old. Thank you

[@HadleyAllenFitness]

Thank you so so much ! Can’t wait for next one

[@patriciagriffin1505]

[@dicta2974]

Thank you

[@carolinebelli3749]

Thank you for this wonderful gift. I am one of those people who would take advantage of an online training. For my learning style, online is often preferable.

[@debbieturner1975]

I would love to have easier access to a L1 training. I live in the Atlanta area and the one in the southeast fills up quicker than I can jump in. I feel like a discouraged/ hopeless part comes up every time I think about how to get that training. Thank you for doing this meditation.

[@pmacinnis7586]

I’m late to the table… thank you🙏

[@jarrettgilgoremusic]

Thank you so much

Bless you for your wisdom!

[@magicalpatterns]

Thank you, I’m currently doing IfS with my therapist. It is so amazing. My question is: for someone that is severely ill can this therapy work for total remission? 🙏🏼is it possible that parts can make you ill?

[@vamama100]

Grateful to learn how to ease subpersonalities. Exiles are like leaches that take our blood. We need peace for sure to reclaim inner balance.

[@Requiredfields2]

For those familiar with IFS, are you able to isolate different parts of yourself to the extent you are able to talk to them? That is not how I experience myself at all or reality. I tell myself negative things for sure but it all feels like me. Or, it feels like me having a conversation with myself, I suppose. The idea of separate parts that are independent of me is not what I experience at all.

[@pjp9383]

I'm new to IFS, but have some experience with identifying that negative self talk you referred to as coming from outside. It was through the exercises in a well known older book called The Artist's Way that I came to realize that the negative self talk that plagued me was really the voice of key people from my childhood, from whom I heard a lot of hurtful criticism. It was helpful for me, once I realized it, to try to think of that voice as an outsider, so I could then compare my own thoughts about myself, with the automatic negative ones, and question their validity.

[@Danielle-nz9tn]

I think that framing contradictory internal thoughts, feelings, intentions, agendas, etc. as different “parts” of yourself may feel like a new idea at first, perhaps even a strange one. I do think that as you continue to open yourself up to this idea, it will likely feel more comfortable and resonate more with you. To me, it makes sense based on many years of resonating with concepts of “inner critic,” “wounded child,” etc, based on certain thought and behavior patterns. I know that those “voices” inside me cannot really BE me because I am not always that way, and because there is not unity between those thoughts/behaviors and other thoughts/behaviors, so they must be “parts” of me. The idea of establishing a dialogue between the various parts in order to increase understanding of the function of thought and behavior patterns makes a lot of sense because it can facilitate a sense of inner unity and inner peace.

Would you kindly please put English subtitle or captions for DEAF viewers, thank you.

[@melinda-longcovidrecovery]

The commercials allowed to play during this talk and exercises (meditations) are very jarring and disturbing. The owner of this channel might consider only advertising before and after the episode.

[@InternalFamilySystems]

Thanks for the feedback, and sorry for the frustration. We have not monetized this channel and regret we cannot control where youtube places the ads.

[@sanjavukovic169]

I'm sorry I tried to listen, but video is too infested with some smacking noise 😟
