[@SummerLove-u2o]

Powerful healing❤❤❤

[@megm.c4026]

Love this so much. Will watch it again...some real gems in here. Thank you both for an amazing talk and demonstartion. It resonated with truth. Love your guide Soren, and your reaction to him Dick. Lovely.

[@schenelle79]

That was epic. What an amazing gift Dr. Schwartz has passed on to everyone. Loved the calm 'demonstration' of healing of parts.

[@CM-FCB]

The discussion of psychedelics starts at about 54:00. The rest of the interview is an overview of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and a demonstration session.

[@LS_Courtney]

54:05 Under the influence of MDMA, 80% of clients spontaneously begin doing IFS. Wowza!

[@lets.7860]

Really amazing! Thank you for sharing this with us. Also not easy to process online, kudos for you! If IFS is going to be available for everyone, I really want to learn. I did a lot of modality for my own healing. Now I feel IFS can help me find my community as well. I am already applying it daily. Thank you again.💜🕊☮️

[@Lasendadelaescritura]

Amazing conversation, Thank you ❤

[@mariepalmer5213]

Thank you…. Much love to you both♥️truly inspiring 🙏….. I have just started working with traumatic very volatile children and I am very triggered by the abuse they throw at me…… I understand it all stems from their perception of their past life and I know I have so much to learn, yet I react through fear and lose my worthiness which is a reflection of myself! I want to ascend through my perceived suffering yet can’t quite awaken from this dream!!

[@BetterDays_Now]

You don't have to stay in that profession, you can change where you're working and who you're working with. ❤

[@BetterDays_Now]

Somebody who isn't affected should work with those tough kids. Maybe you have too strong of empathy. That's damaging to you. Not a good job for you. Some kids respond to horse therapy.

[@Itslewieo]

Where was the discussion on psychedelics?

[@CM-FCB]

Starts at about 54:00

[@lonianderson8992]

Toward the end he talks about how he’s now using ketamine therapy in his technique.

[@suzannelerner1]

deep Love & Appreciation to both of you dear Spirits, Soren & Dick...We all really want to just feel comfortable in our own skins, and you both model that so genuinely...Felling really touched & inspired!

PS We know that the UN was developed, as a 1st iteration... If a Country was "bullying" another Country,, we would send in "Peace keeping forces," unfortunately fully armed . It was a noble 1st attempt... I dream of some sort of UN 2.0, where all the Nations would sign on and agree, if they were feeling "provoked" that they had to create an immediate "Time Out." for 2 weeks, All the other Nations would send in their best Mediators, from both the public and private sectors. They and their families and advisors would receive Spiritual Counseling of their choice, Massage, Yoga, Tai Chi, Family Therapy, Past Life Regressions, Energy Healing, Breathwork, Guided Entheogen Journeys, whatever they chose, nothing forced. But that they did have to agree to: PAUSE/TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOME OF THE MULTIPLE OFFERINGS OF THIS INTERNATIONALLY OFFERED "HEALING BUFFET" and commit to doing their best to come back to center, and find peaceful solutions. "You May Say I 'm A Dreamer, but I'm Not the Only One" & We're ALL Already Part of the ONE. FORGIVE & LET LIVE...... ♥♥♥ suzanne improvisation lerner

[@Anniebear7f]

Yay You know about Guides!!Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity to develop Selfs influence!

[@HouseofSaul-ly1bt]

What an incredible, authentic & humble interviewer Soren is . Just beautiful. Thank you for your vulnerability & for being so real . You’re a wonderful, courageous human being.

[@wolfymommy]

Curious to know how the body figures in to parts work. Can the body be a “part”? For example, if one feels exhausted and run down, and there is a part who drives the system to work hard, would we let the body talk and say “hey, I’m tired!” Then ask the driving part “what would happen if you didn’t push so hard”… etc…

[@crowekirstin1]

Yes! I'm not trained or anything but I obsessively research in my own time, it's all I do, and IFS is naturally pairing with Somatic therapies like somatic experiencing and you do exactly what you describe, connect to parts through body sensations. 😊

[@takobaba8616]

12:30 - amazing question

[@peacefulisland67]

Without my "addict", I would have died a psychic and spiritual death. She kept me wanting to live at least for the substances when nothing else could. Addictions are not just red flags for the persons suffering them directly, but also for their communities. Would you start teaching someone drowning how to swim or just get them out of the water? At least throw them a life vest?

[@suzannelerner1]

our "Addicts"//Self-Medicators, are just helping the deeply wounded ones, often quite young, and they're trying to be the best doctor they know how.. We can offer compassion for the inner di/stress, and add more choices to their "medicine basket," also help them experience a greater sense of a "timeline" (which sees to often "go offline" when we're really stressed.) This helps soothe the sense of "urgency" so then they//we can consider all the options, and the different "side effects"//consequences of the different choices available. In any moment, we're all doing the best we can...

[@HomeFromFarAway]

@@peacefulisland67 I had a similar experience but my addiction was to a family cult. I stayed alive to rescue them and protect them from habing to deal with the consequences of their abuse. Leaving that addiction was my salvation

Interested in the next level of this conversation? We are excited to share on our channel a groundbreaking interview with Dick, with the below description. In this fascinating conversation, Dick discusses for one of the first times the spiritual implications of working with parts of self. In line with many traditions of the ancient world, we appear to have many parts that we are not consciously aware of. Though most of those parts belong to us, and are best integrated and healed, some parts do not. It is these that need to be removed, and their apparent sentient nature shakes up much of what current, scientific psychology is willing to see and accept. No matter what your views, you will be fascinated by Dick’s honest report of his decades of experience working first-hand at the crossroads of psychology and spirituality. Clinical evidence has shown that IFS works, and it is one of the most widely trained psychotherapy interventions today. We cannot, then, easily dismiss Dick’s wealth of clinical experience. The implications of this conversation are immense and only beginning to be understood. Deep gratitude to both Dick and his guides for their willingness and clarity in giving this thirsted-for guidance to the psychedelic provider community.

[@HomeFromFarAway]

the magical thinking fairy-goop is one of the main reasons IFS cannot have the kind of profound usefullness it should. stop promoting insanity, IFS is powerful enough without that rot

[@tanyaserrao6105]

47:30 gave me goosebumps. I felt so proud of Soren for going through that journey.

[@BetterDays_Now]

55:00 Micheal and Annie ___ ? MAPS ? Psychedelic put managers to sleep, so a lot more session gains happen faster

[@Itslewieo]

This is in alignment with the saying that we are multi dimensional beings

[@HomeFromFarAway]

@@Itslewieo It is a problem

[@franciscafazzo3460]

I was totally devestated emotionaly and spiritually and have never recovered. spiritual torment and so called christian leaders and a God of fear

[@HomeFromFarAway]

that is because religion is all pretty abusive and based, at least to start, on cults. rationality is sanity, religion is evil

[@HomeFromFarAway]

@@franciscafazzo3460 sadly, religious abuse isnot only tolerated but sometimes even encouraged in the very places we go to find safety and healing. If people are invalidating your real experiences with "spiritual" fantasies and magical thinking, it is time to put up some real boundaries and seek more rational wisdom elsewhere ❤🤍

[@Hypnotica420x]

Trump winning the election must have destroyed these guys. 🤣 Good interview BTW.

[@CMRLiberacionMemoriaCelular]

Great content! Sadly, the interviewer creates lots of distraction all along. The hundreds of ‘Yeah’ and mmhmm’s after every sentence are so distracting!! He’s supposed to be silent and hold space instead of making all sort of sounds taking space and be relevant.

[@HomeFromFarAway]

I find IFS amazingly useful but I wish there wasn't all this "psychic" fairyland BS surrounding it. it's downright retriggering for those of us who have been abused by cults and magical thinking. please find rationality and sanity because that nonsense is helping nobody Edit: all of my rewponses to the gaslighting in the comments have been deleted. I am incredibly disappointed in the channel moderators

[@DinahMacKenziePeers]

Don’t worry, you’ll get it in the end. When your body dies, you’ll remember everything ! You are just reacting to trauma, it’s entirely normal. 🥰

[@HomeFromFarAway]

@@DinahMacKenziePeers gross. your condescending, dismissive magical thinking is abusive. precisely what causes this trashy thinking to create ptsd in so many of us. tou have zero moral high ground, just hubris and a total lack of empathy

[@stephenvankleeck4801]

The issue isn’t with IFS or the many, MANY religious and indigenous traditions that acknowledge the nature of consciousness and how we are always in participation with it (as an extension of it ourselves). The issue is Western culture’s immaturity in the insistence that these dimensions of our reality aren’t “real” because we don’t have the capacity to scientifically measure them. What you’re rejecting as “psychic fairyland BS” is this dimension of our experience as conscious beings that IFS assists in bringing awareness to, building relationships with, and ultimately co-creating alongside as we take agency over the traumatic patterning. What works is what’s true. It sounds like you already have an IFS practice. It would be interesting for you to find the part that’s in resistance to this dimension of the human experience and hear its story. Cult and religious trauma so often locks us into defensive patterns that starve us of the fullness of the human experience. You might find that happening here.

[@HomeFromFarAway]

@@stephenvankleeck4801 no. to all of your assumptions. my trauma from myvparents cult is not up for your dismissalnor generalisations. go peddal your mystical shaman bullsh1t to your own family

[@alexedingfield5222]

No hes talking about the rehearsed parts work on stage. The performance isnt needed or even a part of IFS

[@tash5244]

Absolute rubbish!
