Your Mind's Many Voices: Richard Schwartz on the Power of Internal Family Systems

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.
