Origins of IFS
- Dr. Schwartz's work began with bulimic families, where he initially focused on family therapy.
- However, he found that clients continued struggling, leading him to explore internal parts.
The Turning Point
- A client who cut herself showed Dr. Schwartz the turning point of IFS.
- After failed attempts to stop her, he surrendered, leading the part to reveal its protective intentions.
IFS Explained
- IFS views the mind as multiple parts, each with its own perspective and intentions.
- There are no "bad" parts, only parts burdened by past experiences and frozen in time.
