Richard Schwartz – Step by Step Guide to Internal Family Systems Therapy: IFS Therapy for Deep Healing
Week after week, you’ve been working with a client trapped in fear, despair, and hopelessness. Therapy is going nowhere. You leave each session feeling drained and helpless. All your standard tools—empathic connection, insight, mindful awareness—simply don’t go deep enough. A different kind of healing is required. But what?
World-renowned psychotherapist Richard Schwartz, PhD, found himself asking the same question. That’s why he developed the revolutionary Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of therapy. Crafted from Dr. Schwartz’s 30+ years of working with clients, the IFS model is an evidence-based approach that enables therapists to awaken the capacity for deep self-healing within even the most troubled client.
At the heart of the scientifically validated IFS process are simple but powerful tools that offer clients a direct and immediate experience of their most deeply troubling conflicts—which is why it has been adopted by thousands of respected senior practitioners around the world.
As renowned trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk puts it, “For me, discovering Internal Family Systems therapy was a breakthrough.”
In this special Master Class presented by Richard Schwartz and Psychotherapy Networker, you get the chance to see the IFS model in action and determine how it will enhance your own work. You’ll observe a dramatic and moving clinical session between IFS-originator Richard Schwartz and Jody, a woman who’s been haunted by early childhood trauma her whole life. Watch as Dr. Schwartz guides Jody step-by-step through a journey that enables her to fully embrace her capacity for personal transformation.
