Internal Family Systems Therapy was developed by a family therapist who noticed his anorexic patients were talking about inner parts (an inner family). Some of this was not new information. Therapists have been working for a long time with the inner child and the inner critic, as well as other distinct aspects of the person. But the way Dick Schwartz put it all together provides an elegant and effective way of resolving and healing the internal family systems wounds. Each part is respected and listened to, learned from---until those parts of us exiled are taken care of and healed authentically by the Self. The goal of IFS is to work with individual parts so that the emotions are not so overwhelming. Then the parts can be listened to, paid attention to, worked with, healed and integrated. for more information please see SelfLeadership.org (opens in new window) |

THE WELL "The well from which water is drawn conveys the further idea of an inexhaustible dispensing of nourishment…We must go down to the foundations of life. For any merely superficial ordering of life that leaves its deepest needs unsatisfied is an ineffectual as if no attempt at order had ever been made." "The generations come and go, and all enjoy life in its inexhaustible abundance." "and every human being can draw in the course of his/her education from the inexhaustible wellspring of the divine in human nature." "The water is there for nourishment and healing, if we can only draw it to the surface." "The well is cleaned, but no one drinks from it. This is my heart's sorrow, for the well is there for all to be nourished." The I Ching Testimonials Robert Tallon, Co-author of From Awareness to Action.
