Creator of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dr. Richard Schwartz helps us understand ourselves through the lens of recognizing how multi-faceted we are — that inside each of us is our own internal family, or “parts.” When we carry parts that have been burdened to protect other parts of ourselves, we start to develop destructive behavior. When parts are unburdened and able to return to their original role in our internal family, we have the space and freedom to live as our true self.
