"Michi Rose has been dubbed by Dick Schwartz as an innovator with regard to the spiritual component of Internal Family Systems work."

"If a client is not on medication and feels stuck with parts who cannot unblend, then consider a medication consult because it is a good unblending agent. If, on the other hand, a client has tried several medications and none have worked or she complains of multiple side effects, direct communication with parts about medication decisions is a good policy." (a chapter excerpted from the book Internal Family Systems Therapy: New Dimensions, ©2013, published by Routledge) by Frank Guastella Anderson

"All of us like to depend on the floor being there under our feet each morning as we brush off our dreams. We like to have models such as IFS as maps to guide us through the unexplored lands of our clients’ psyches. We don’t like earthquakes or not knowing where the next terrorist attack will strike."

"Through meditation, it is possible to shift from “parts” to self energy, viewing parts with compassion and love."

"From my Self to yours, thank you for this opportunity to share about my parts, their courage, fears, and ultimate ability to unite and become peaceful in the process"

"The story form helps manager parts to listen more openly to an idea, a truth, a solution without the usual skepticism and guardedness"

"losing her will mean that I'm just like my father, driving people away and cutting off forever until there's no one left except family and then they will die and I will be completely entirely alone"

"This story was written to introduce the dynamics of wounded attachment to children and their families."

The first of a series of teaching videos for therapists using the IFS model. This video explores how decisions are made in a Self-led system. The difference between empathy and discussion is discussed, especially with regard to vicarious traumatization. Therapy as service is discussed from the viewpoint of Self as a "Axis of Compassion"; i.e. when compassion can flow internally and facilitate harmony it becomes more readily available for those in the external world.
