Caring for Your Inner World Through Parts Work

• Find out how self-care brings back the precious qualities of the parts of ourselves we’ve exiled
• Explore why having exiled parts makes the world seem more dangerous and makes us feel more vulnerable 
• See how some of your parts’ efforts to protect you can lead to unhealthy behaviors
• How trauma forces our parts out of their natural states into protector roles that are frozen in time
• Understand how approaching your parts with curiosity, compassion, and acceptance heals trauma

Richard Schwartz, PhD, is a contemporary psychotherapist who founded Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. IFS  is a non-pathologizing therapeutic technique that is based on compassion, trust, honesty, and encouragement. IFS invites clients to acknowledge each unique part of themselves and to recognize the strengths and weaknesses within them and how they influence behaviors and emotions.

Dr. Schwartz began his career as a systemic family therapist and an academic. He published over 50 articles about Internal Family Systems and is the author of numerous books including Internal Family Systems Therapy, You Are the One You’ve Been Waiting For, and No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model.
