How do we become more integrated and healed humans? Answering these questions is the life’s work of today’s guest Dr. Richard Schwartz, a psychotherapist who created a very interesting and effective therapeutic modality called Internal Family Systems (or IFS). IFS is premised on the idea that every person has different “parts” within them, each with its own unique characteristics and functions, separate from one’s true or core Self. Furthermore, emotional healing and greater well-being can be experienced by bringing these various parts into harmony with each other—integrating them, if you will—in a process many have found transformative.Dr. Schwartz has been practicing and teaching IFS for decades and has authored several books on the subject, including, You Are The One You’ve Been Waiting For and No Bad Parts. This episode covers many fascinating topics, including the fundamentals of IFS and how it works, Dr. Schwartz’s ‘many parts’ multiplicity of mind model, how to deal with our inner critic, how IFS operates to address addiction, trauma, and depression, and more.This episode culminates in Dr. Schwartz illustrating his process by taking me (albeit a bit reluctantly) through a fairly intense psychological exercise I hope you find informative. Dr. Schwartz’s work is deeply fascinating, and this conversation has stuck with me. My hope is that this exchange inspires you to do the internal work required to live a more integrated and purpose-driven life.<a href="https://www.richroll.com/podcast/richard-schwartz-761/">Show notes + MORE</a>Watch on <a href="https://youtu.be/f80xs3MN9mY">Youtube</a><a href="https://www.richroll.com/subscribe/">Newsletter Sign-Up</a>Today’s Sponsors:Seed: <a href="https://cms.megaphone.fm/organizations/0880a0ae-430f-11ed-96a4-1b38973c150c/podcasts/3011357c-8872-11ed-a390-cfc1eb8db0b0/episodes/c96b4d46-f4e9-11ed-91be-d723dc8a98cf/seed.com/richroll">seed.com/richroll</a>Whoop: <a href="https://www.whoop.com/">http://www.whoop.com/</a>Timeline Nutrition: <a href="https://www.timelinenutrition.com/RICHROLL">timelinenutrition.com/richroll</a>BetterHelp: <a href="https://www.betterhelp.com/richroll">BetterHelp.com/richroll</a>Plant Power Meal Planner: <a href="https://meals.richroll.com/">https://meals.richroll.com</a>SriMu: <a href="http://srimu.com/rrp">http://srimu.com/rrp</a>Peace + Plants,Rich
