Full Description

The only official workbook from Dr. Richard C. Schwartz, founder of Internal Family Systems, to meet, understand, and heal the parts of yourself 

The Internal Family Systems (IFS) model teaches that each of us is not a single personality. Rather, we carry in us a “family” of distinct inner parts that hold our many hurts and conflicts―and that we can heal in order to live with more confidence, courage, and connection. With The Internal Family Systems Workbook, Dr. Schwartz presents an invaluable tool to help you learn about IFS and apply it to your own life—on your own time and at your own pace.

Opening with a beginner-friendly overview of IFS, the workbook offers more than 50 practices, exercises, and meditations to help you:

  • Understand the parts that make up your system, including Manager parts that want to keep you out of uncomfortable situations and Firefighter parts that react to painful emotions and events
  • Extend compassion to each part as you begin to understand how they’re trying to support you
  • Learn strategies to stay calm and navigate anxiety when your parts are activated, allowing you to face challenging situations with courage
  • Explore ways to heal past wounds and trauma
  • Uncover your core Self that is the source of your deepest wisdom

Throughout the workbook, you’ll find a variety of exercises to support different learning styles, as well as QR codes for guided audio meditations read by Dr. Schwartz to further bolster your journey.

IFS has proven to be a revolutionary tool for stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, burnout, addiction, disordered eating, relationships, and more. As Dr. Schwartz writes, “IFS changes lives. Now it is your turn to experience this transformative tool for yourself. You and all your parts are welcome here.”
