Is there some part of yourself that you wish would go away? Most of
us would say yes, whether we call it addiction, the inner critic,
"monkey mind," neurosis, sinfulness, bad habits, or some other
disparaging name. Yet what if there were a different way to
approach these aspects of yourself that leads to true healing
instead of constant inner struggle? With No Bad Parts, Dr. Richard
Schwartz teaches a revolutionary paradigm of understanding and
relating with ourselves - a method that brings us into inner
harmony, enhances self-compassion, and opens the doors to spiritual
awakening. Dr. Schwartz is the creator of Internal Family Systems
(IFS), a paradigm-changing model of consciousness that has been
transforming psychology for decades. Here, you'll learn why IFS has
been so effective in areas such as trauma recovery, addiction
therapy, depression, and more. IFS overturns the idea that we have
one "true" identity and recognizes that having multiple parts is
not a pathology, but a normal and healthy function of the human
mind. Dr. Schwartz shares insights and practices to help you
recognise your own "inner family" of parts, understand how each
part seeks to help and protect you even when it seems problematic,
engage in inner dialogue to restore balance and self-love - and
deepen your awareness of the higher Self that holds and encompasses
every facet of your diverse consciousness.
Do loving relationships end because couples lack communication
skills, struggle to empathize, and fail to accommodate each
otherâs needs? Thatâs a common belief within and without the
therapeutic world . . . but what if itâs all wrong? In You Are
the One Youâve Been Waiting For, Dr. Richard Schwartz, the
celebrated founder of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, offers
a new wayâa path toward âcourageous loveâ that replaces the
striving, dependent, and disconnected approach to solving
relationship challenges. The breakthrough realization of IFS is
that our psyche contains multiple parts that each have a life of
their own. Most problems in relationships arise because we
unknowingly burden our partner with the task of caring for our
disowned and unloved parts. In this book, youâll learn essential
insights and tools to foster healthy dialogue with your parts and
your partner, resolve long-standing relationship issues, and access
the wise and compassionate Self at the centre of your being as the
foundation of true intimacy. âNo one can do the work of healing
our orphaned parts for us,â says Dr. Schwartz. âYet when we
begin with Self-leadership, a relationship can become a safe place
in which we help each other heal and grow.â Here is an invaluable
guide for therapists and laypersons alike to promote connection,
trust, and understandingâwithin yourself and with the one you
love.
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. Over the past two decades, Internal Family
Systems (IFS) has transformed the practice of psychotherapy. With
Introduction to Internal Family Systems, the creator of IFS
presents the ideal layperson's guide for understanding this
empowering, effective, and non-pathologizing approach to
self-discovery and healing. Dr. Schwartz shares evidence, case
studies, and self-care tools to help us move from suppressing our
wounded parts to unburdening them from extreme beliefs, emotions,
and addictions-shifting these parts from inner obstacles to
invaluable allies. "The most wonderful discovery I have made is
that as we do this work, we naturally gain access to our true
Self-the calm, compassionate essence of who we are," reports Dr.
Schwartz. "When the Self becomes the leading intelligence in our
lives, we create more harmony-both within ourselves and in our
external lives." For therapists, their clients, and anyone
interested in understanding and healing themselves, here is an
essential guide to a revolutionary approach to mental wellness.

Now significantly revised with over 70% new material, this is the
authoritative presentation of Internal Family Systems (IFS)
therapy, which is taught and practiced around the world. IFS
reveals how the subpersonalities or "parts" of each individual's
psyche relate to each other like members of a family, and how--just
as in a family--polarization among parts can lead to emotional
suffering. IFS originator Richard Schwartz and master clinician
Martha Sweezy explain core concepts and provide practical
guidelines for implementing IFS with clients who are struggling
with trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addiction, and
other behavioral problems. They also address strategies for
treating families and couples. IFS therapy is listed in SAMHSA's
National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices. New to

The idea that the healthy personality is naturally multiple is a
major premise of Richard Schwartz's internal family system (IFS)
model, and has special relevance for survivors of childhood sexual
abuse. Trapped in a nightmare of abuse, denial and betrayal, some
parts of the survivor absorb the pain while other parts try
desperately to protect the survivor's life; such internal
polarizations lead to extreme behaviours. This guide to the IFS
model demonstrates how parts can be released from their extreme
roles.
