Being Well with Forrest Hanson and Dr. Rick Hanson

Internal Family Systems Therapy with Dr. Richard Schwartz


Listen Later

We all have different parts inside of us. This is perfectly normal, not psychotic. But our relationship with some parts is often better than others, and a wonderful path to healing and growth is to repair our relationship with all of our parts. That's the premise of Internal Family Systems Therapy, and today Forrest is exploring this powerful modality with the founder of IFS: Dr. Richard Schwartz.

It's a special episode that includes a live demonstration of an IFS session between Forrest and Dr. Schwartz.
