Our guest this week is Richard Schwartz, PhD, who developed the treatment model of Internal Family Systems.  He explains that everyone is born “Multiple” and that “all parts are good”.  He gives the history of developing the model and examples of how it works.  Trigger warning for doorbell alert in background noise we were unable to edit out.  There is also reference to working with a suicidal part, without any graphic details.
