Join Peter and Dick as they investigate the link between Somatic Experiencing (SE), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and the Self.

“Imbalanced systems will tend to polarize, whether internal or external.” Internal Family Systems Therapy, Richard C. Schwartz

Richard Schwartz began his work at the University of Illinois at Chicago as a family therapist and academic. There, he realized that family therapy alone did not yield complete symptom alleviation, and when he asked patients why, he discovered that they were troubled by what they referred to as “parts.” As they recounted how their components created networks of inner relationships that mirrored the families he had been dealing with, these patients became his instructors. He also discovered that while they concentrated on and therefore separated from their components, they entered a condition marked by attributes such as curiosity, serenity, confidence, and compassion. He referred to this inner essence as the Self, and he was astounded to discover it even in badly diagnosed and traumatized individuals. In the early 1980s, the Internal Family Systems (IFS) paradigm emerged from these investigations.

IFS is currently evidence-based and a popular method of psychotherapy, particularly for trauma. It offers a non-pathologizing, hopeful, and empowering viewpoint, as well as a set of practical and successful approaches for working with people, couples, families, and, more recently, organizations and schools.

Schwartz departed the Chicago region in 2013 and currently resides in Brookline, MA, where he is on the faculty of Harvard Medical School’s Department of Psychiatry.
