Beth Rogerson talks to couples therapist and Internal Family Systems (IFS) trainer Toni Herbine-Blank about how couples can create lasting intimacy in a relationship.

Intended to make IFS accessible to people without access to a therapist, this post contains links to a video, handout and facebook page. Please consider sharing and reposting the content.

Dr. Stephen Green's PowerPoint presentation pulls together the fields of interpersonal neurobiology and complex trauma to illuminate what is happening neurologically through IFS interventions. It is the most viewed post on this site.

This handout by Janet Mullen describes working with children and includes: Assessment, Phases of IFS, Addressing the fears of childrens' managers , helping to identify and externalise parts, helping children to differentiate and access Self, teaching polarities and assisting unburdening.

Suzanne Hoffman outlines the principles that support the goal of trauma work: “to help people get to the place where they are able to say, “It happened, it happened to me, and it’s over”, to mourn their losses and let go – and thus to be able to live with more safety, freedom, and hope in the present and the future.”

Anyone who knows Mike knows that he has all of the above. Here are some he has committed to paper: Despair protocol, Smoking cessation and IFS, Phobia protocol, Three techniques for helping Difficult Parts to unblend, and Opinions about Couples Work.

This handout formed the basis for a group discussion hosted by Judi Addleston about therapist's parts

First published in the Journal of Psychotherapy Integration, Martha Sweezy "discusses coupling dialectical behavioral therapy... with internal family systems,a therapy that is both clinically promising and compatible with dialectical behavioral therapy, as a Stage 2 therapy for trauma patients who avoid other modes of treatment." (From the Abstract)

Suzanne Hoffman takes us through 7 helpful points to consider when working with dissociation.
