Summary
In this episode I interview Richard C Schwartz, the creator of Internal Family Systems (IFS). IFS is a highly effective, evidence-based therapeutic model that de-pathologizes the multipart personality. We discuss:
- How he came to develop this system and how it is helping millions around the world
- How the mind is naturally multiple and that is a good thing.
- How IFS creates inner and outer connectedness by helping people first access their Self and, from that core, come to understand and heal their parts.
- How It is also a way of understanding personal and intimate relationships and stepping into life with the 8 Cs: confidence, calm, compassion, courage, creativity, clarity, curiosity, and connectedness.
