Incredible' Jonathan Van Ness 'Groundbreaking' Gabor Maté 'Paradigm-shifting' Stephen Porges We're all familiar with self-talk, self-doubt, self-judgement - and yet many of us still believe we have one uniform mind. Dr Richard Schwartz's breakthrough model of therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), revealed that our minds are made up of distinct parts that form our 'internal family', from Protectors and Exiles to Managers and Firefighters. This accessible paperback is perfect for therapists, counselors, coaches, and anyone interested in personal development and healing trauma. The book outlines the core principles of IFS, including the concept of the Self and the protective and wounded parts that reside within us all.

• Identify and connect with their inner parts
• Develop self-leadership and emotional regulation
• Heal past wounds through internal dialogue
• Apply IFS principles in therapy or daily life

Whether you're new to IFS or looking to deepen your understanding, this guide offers practical tools, real-life examples, and compassionate insights to help you embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
