Description

Richard Schwartz (2021), the creator of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy model, suggests we have all been born with many sub-minds interacting with one another. Not only that, it enables clients to unburden trauma, access self-energy, and form deeply satisfying relationships with themselves and others. If your protector did step to the side, you probably noticed a big shift” (Schwartz, 2021, p. 130). Repeating the exercise can help clients learn about the parts that protect and how vulnerable they have previously been. Why not try out some of the worksheets and exercises with your clients to help the self, rather than the therapist, become the primary, caring attachment figure necessary to heal the client’s injured parts?

Overturning the cultural, scientific, and spiritual assumptions that reinforce an outdated mono-mind model

The idea that “the mind is not a singular entity or self, but is multiple, composed of parts” is at the core of Richard Schwartz’s internal family systems (IFS) model (Sweezy & Ziskind, 2013, p. xviii). Each part has its own beliefs, feelings, and characteristics and a distinct role in the overall system. They are clustered into the following three groups (Sweezy & Ziskind, 2013; IFS Institute, n.d.):Psychology Today has a great directory you can use to find therapists in your local area. Usually, the therapists provide a summary in their profile with their areas of expertise and types of issues they are used to working with. Is there just one “you”? We’ve been taught to believe we have a single identity, and to feel fear or shame when we can’t control the inner voices that don’t match the ideal of who we think we should be. Yet Dr. Richard Schwartz’s research now challenges this “mono-mind” theory. “All of us are born with many sub-minds―or parts,” says Dr. Schwartz. “These parts are not imaginary or symbolic. They are individuals who exist as an internal family within us―and the key to health and happiness is to honor, understand, and love every part.” When children, and grownups, are doing well and at peace they are anchored in their whole body and self with the ability to just observe with no thoughts at all, but all parts are present. At this moment here is no need for achievement, management, or protection, so no part is activated.

After identifying a part of the self, clients can explore it in greater detail to better understand whether it is doing its job.

Internal Family Systems?® | IFS Institute What is Internal Family Systems?® | IFS Institute

We’re all familiar with self-talk, self-doubt, self-judgment—yet most of us still view ourselves as if we have one uniform mind. Dr. Richard Schwartz’s breakthrough was recognizing that we each contain an “internal family” of distinct parts—and that treating these parts with curiosity, respect, and empathy vastly expands our capacity to heal. IFS® Certified Therapists and IFS® Certified Practitioners carry a distinguished mark demonstrating competency and experience of the IFS model. Learn more about becoming IFS Certified here. I *like* my parts, the ones I know. I don’t want to leave them behind. They are part of me. Most of the time I like them better than I like Me. Often the easiest way out of a situation is to blend with the right part. I’ve been helped by Ghost and Rebel several times that way. While IFS Therapy is a powerful approach for helping individuals, it can be equally successful with couples. According to Herbine-Blank (n.d.), “once the individuals in a couple have more access to Self, transformation is natural,” and they can find the space and capacity to choose a response rather than simply react to it, even if the other cannot at the time. Altogether You: Experiencing personal and spiritual transformation with Internal Family Systems therapy (Kindle Edition)Practice mindful meditation, bringing to mind a recent time when they were critical or judgmental of themselves. Several of my parts over the years, have become Facets of Me. I can become Teacher or Explorer, or Wordsmith or Shutterbug at the drop of a hat. Reply A highly accessible introduction to a therapeutic approach that brings our inner “parts” into harmony and allows our core Self to lead Chapters on the Self, the body and physical illness, the role of the therapist, specific clinical strategies, and couple therapy. We use this tool to help people cultivate self-compassion by developing an appreciation for common humanity in a group setting.
