Discover the Power of IFS Training with Dr. Richard Schwartz

Ever felt like you’re missing that one tool in your therapy toolkit that could help your therapy clients truly heal and reconnect with their best selves? Well, in today’s episode of Love, Happiness and Success for Therapists, I’m chatting with Dr. Dick Schwartz, founder of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, about the power of IFS and how it can be a game-changer for your clients. IFS is more than just a therapy model—it's a transformative approach that helps clients access their own core Self, heal their internal wounds, and lead their lives with compassion, confidence, and calm. It's about connecting with the different "parts" of our psyche and fostering self-leadership.

Whether you’re just starting out or already familiar with IFS, this conversation is packed with wisdom, insights, and actionable steps that you can start applying right away.
