Objectives
Attachment wounds have a powerful impact on life decisions like who we pick for a partner, our job and the relationship with our environments.
That’s why it's crucial to understand that when trauma is experienced alone, no one to process it with, no trusting relationship, it will get locked into a client's system without the ability to move forward.
In this interview, join Dr. Frank Anderson and Senior IFS Trainer, Chris Burris as they go in-depth on how to apply IFS to attachment wounds and the body. When a client experiences trauma, their parts will split from the Self to survive. One part will serve the role of protection while the other will remain hidden causing an internal attachment wound.
Join Chris and Frank as they dive into the breakthrough of IFS and attachment - when parts work together, they heal together.

Frank Anderson will lead a rare conversation with IFS Founder, Richard Schwartz, Ph.D. He will share where he dreams of IFS to expand to both with mental health professionals and the general public.
Copyright : 31/07/2020We all know what it is to feel conflicting emotions – “a part of me wants to .. and then there’s a part of me that doesn’t" – as we grapple with our internal self, desires, and behaviors.
Think about the family of emotions from Pixar’s movie Inside Out - how family of emotions, Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust and Anger all interacted inside Riley Anderson’s mind to form her reactions and memories.
Now you are thinking through the lens of Internal Family Systems therapy.
Most modes of psychotherapy believe to have “parts” is pathological, but in IFS therapy, the idea of multiplicity of the mind is normal. Every part has a good intention, and every part has value. All clients have the ability to heal themselves if they listen to their parts. Once you see this powerful modality in action, you’ll want to immediately incorporate it into your practice.
In developing IFS therapy 30 years ago, creator Richard Schwartz, Ph.D., realized that clients were describing experiences with various parts, many extreme, within themselves. When these parts felt safe and had their concerns addressed, they were less disruptive. He recognized that, as in systemic family theory, parts take on characteristic roles that help define the inner world of the client.
Dr. Bessel van der Kolk has heralded IFS therapy as the treatment that all clinicians should know in order to treat clients effectively (van der Kolk 2015).

Let’s face it – treating trauma is hard work and it’s not always clear what needs to be done. Dysregulated nervous systems, co-morbidities, and a myriad of psychotherapeutic and psychopharmacological options often make it difficult to reach the desired goals for your clients.
Even though you may not be a prescriber of medications, it’s essential that you have a thorough understanding of the effects medication has in treating trauma.
Watch world renowned trauma expert Frank Guastella Anderson, MD, in this recording as he guides you through the essentials of Psychopharmacology related to the treatment of Trauma and Dissociation.
Dr. Anderson will teach you how to:

Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) provides a revolutionary treatment plan for PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, eating disorders and more.
Using a non-pathologizing, accelerated approach -- rooted in neuroscience -- IFS applies inner resources and self-compassion for healing emotional wounding at its core. This new manual offers straight-forward explanations and illustrates a wide variety of applications. Easy to read and highly practical.
IFS is Evidence-Based
Thirty years ago, IFS creator Richard Schwartz, PhD, listened to his clients describing the behaviors and fears of their most extreme parts. He found that the inner world of all his clients was characterized by parts who had a positive intent for the client but had taken on extreme roles in an effort to be safe. He also discovered that these extreme parts would become less disruptive and more cooperative once their concerns were addressed and they felt safer.
IFS views psychic multiplicity as the norm: we all have parts. In addition, every part has a good intention for the client, and every part has value. When clients listen to all their parts, they can heal their wounded parts.
Today, IFS, which has established a legacy of efficiency and effectiveness in treating many mental health issues, is being heralded by Dr. Bessel van der Kolk as a treatment that all clinicians should know.
