What I've tried to do is provide an alternative paradigm for understanding human nature that allows for the kind of compassion you're talking about, both for yourself and you know, when you're in the self and you think: oh, this person who's being mean to me, that's their, and they must.
Imagine a therapy that treats your mind like a family, with each part of you playing a unique role. In this episode of the '1000 Days Sober Podcast', Lee Davy sits down with Dr. Richard Schwartz, the pioneer behind Internal Family Systems (IFS). Starting his career as a family therapist, Dr. Schwartz discovered that traditional methods weren't enough. His patients spoke of 'parts' within themselves that interacted like families, leading him to develop IFS in the early 1980s.
IFS offers a fresh, optimistic approach to therapy. It’s all about understanding the different parts of ourselves—some protectors, some exiles—and learning to work with them compassionately. Dr. Schwartz explains how focusing on these parts can bring out our inner 'Self', characterized by curiosity, calm, and confidence. This episode dives into how IFS has evolved into an evidence-based practice widely used for trauma therapy. It’s not just for individuals; couples, families, and even organizations can benefit from this approach. Dr.
Schwartz and Lee Davy discuss the transformative power of unburdening our parts, allowing us to heal and grow. Lee also shares his personal experiences with IFS, adding a relatable touch to the conversation. Whether you’re dealing with addiction, mental health issues, or simply want to understand yourself better, this episode offers valuable insights and practical techniques. If you're curious about how IFS can help you find inner harmony and empower your journey to sobriety, don't miss this enlightening discussion.
