IFS as a Potential Treatment for Physical Illness: Healing Sick Body Parts Lou Lukas, MD, Richard Schwartz, PhD, and Lissa Rankin, MD

IFS has been shown to be successful with medical syndromes (Shaddick et al., 2013), and we will discuss both the theory and practice of that work in this session. Parts may clearly impact our bodies when they have no other way to reach us, and IFS can assist them recognize they don’t have to. Lissa Rankin, MD, the New York Times best-selling author of Mind Over Medicine, has spent seven years researching her seventh book, Sacred Medicine. When Western medicine failed to improve her sickness and made it worse, she began exploring remedies that exploited our brains’ intrinsic ability to self-repair, as well as how shifting trapped life force through the body may potentially cure disease. She found IFS four years ago and regards it as a paradigm-shifting approach to understanding and integrating numerous therapeutic modalities, including traditional medicine, psychology, spirituality, energy healing, and shamanic. Dr. Lukas is an Associate Professor of Family Medicine who serves patients with life-threatening illnesses and is a mentor to hundreds of medical students and residents. She incorporates IFS ideas into her practice and is now exploring methods to bring IFS to medical students at various phases of their personal and professional growth.

This session will investigate the combination of IFS and other healing techniques, as well as provide experiential activities to help you learn to listen to the parts of your body that are harming it and to those that know how to heal it, and to expand your access to healing Self energy.

Richard Schwartz began his career as a systemic family therapist and academic, and he is currently on the faculty of Harvard Medical School’s Department of Psychiatry. He is also a Senior Fellow at Arizona’s Meadows rehab clinic. Dr. Schwartz created the Internal Family Systems model (IFS) in response to clients’ descriptions of various elements within themselves. It is based on systems thinking. In 2000, he established the Center for Self Leadership (www.selfleadership.org), which provides three levels of IFS training and seminars for professionals and the general public in the United States and worldwide. Dr. Schwartz has produced many books and over fifty papers on IFS and has been a prominent speaker for national professional groups.
