Interested in the perspective Dick has on entities and guides? Check out Dick Schwartz, founder of Internal Family Systems, discussing the implication of IFS, Psychedelics, and the Spirit World: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ynLoA0c2ciU.htmlsi=D9YGFUKI3N86zGQv
When you are doing a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education the tutors question you about your childhood to determine whether you had a secure attachment with a nurturing adult. They don’t think you have the capacity to be the safe adult that delights in the child if you haven’t experienced that as a child. Attachment theory is foundational to the course. It’s interesting listening to you talking about the Self that emerges when the Parts allow space, are compassionately respected, and are relieved of their burdens. I think IFS is a transformative theory.
Oh, wow. I sure hope this wonderful, courageous man is well and happy. 🙏❤ My heart goes out to him for what he's been burdened with all these years. It's so generous of the two of you to share part of this session to show just how powerful IFS can be.
I was a long time psychonaut, never really had a bad trip until i decided to try a heroic dose of shrooms, acid and DMT in one night. It shot me into a psychotic episode that lasted 3 months. I thought i was trapped in a movie, I smashed my house up, got arrested and taken into an ambulance, for some reason i stripped naked, escaped the ambulance and ran into a moving car, somehow I wasn't hurt i kept running until the police tasered me it took like 10 police to subdue me, I couldn't breathe and in the moment thought I was George Floyd being killed again. I was then taken to hospital and strapped to a bed, I thought I was literally Jesus being crucified, I was absolutely terrified. My family thought i was never coming back. I've never touched drugs since that episode. Any professional Doctor whom insinuates that psychadelics are harmeless should lose their jobs and be banned from practicing.
If you interview Dr Schwartz again, I’m interested in his answers to the following questions: what kind of preparation or life situation should a patient be in before starting this work with past trauma in terms of it maybe being too much if they have too many other things going on in their life or working on emotion tolerance skills beforehand or if this is work that can just be started anytime of life and in any condition? What to warn clients about in terms of how they will feel after and in between sessions and how to care for themselves during that time as well as how long of a journey this work would be so they can wait until they have time/capacity to start this work? Also, how to organize the work in terms of working on one part at a time through healing before starting another or what to do with the ones that pop up and how to keep track of them, when to get back to them, etc? Also, can this work bring up repressed memories from childhood trauma (in case of amnestic clients) and is it unsafe for them to unbury those? What types of consequences come from unburying those and how to help someone through those phases? How can the client ever trust it’s real? It seems more dangerous to open up that can of worms for someone who otherwise doesn’t have memory of the events.
I have always talked within therapy, "A part of me feels like _____, but then another part of me feels like _____." It wasn't until I got into trauma therapy with a licensed IFS therapist that it all came together! ❤ This therapy has changed my life and has made me realize I'm not crazy....I just have many parts that contradict one another.
Throw away your stupid simplistic naive ideas of what a hallucination is. I'm talking about a robust deeply sophisticated notion of hallucination. Hallucinations that are so real you cannot distinguish them from reality. Hallucinations that are so mesmerizing that... Imagine that you started imagining that you were a kangaroo and you just sat there day after day after day imagining that you were a kangaroo and you imagined it so much that you literally became a kangaroo and you could not remember anymore that you were ever a human. That's the kind of power of imagination that I'm talking about. See so the irony of people who criticize psychedelics is that they themselves are doing it from a state of hallucination but they're so ignorant and oblivious and lacking in self reflection that they don't understand that what they're doing is you're criticizing psychedelics from a state of hallucination and delusion.
My ex was physically abused by his stepdad. When his grandparents got custody, she took him for three sessions. The first session he saw his grandmother go in afterwards and talk alone with him. He refused to talk to the therapist after that. He told the therapist that he wouldn’t talk to someone who talked about him behind his back. So he was silent for the rest of that session. Grandma took him back and then silence the next session. Then grandma never sought therapy again.
The questions about the correlation between trauma and health related issues, please read the Adverse Childhood Experiences studies. Felliti et al., 1998 is the first.
parentification is abusive. incompetent parents are not capable of keeping the child safe so the kids take responsibility. forcing limits on a parentified child is disgusting abuse
Loved this! My therapist has been doing IFS with me after 5+ years of CBT/DBT not doing a single thing for me. IFS is the most difficult thing I’ve done in my life but it’s slowly helping
Sometimes a bit deep, but knowing the enneagram makes this so much clearer. Self=essence, Centers of intelligence...heart has trouble with shame/victim, head types have trouble with fear/anxiety body types have trouble with anger/contol... Types 1 perfectionist fights the inner critic , type 2 values helping others and forgetting themselves type 3 performer forgets value of self separate from what they do, type 8 the challenger has trouble being vulnerable... you get the picture. There is a childhood wound that causes one to deal with the world in a certain way. It is a personality tool that can define your box or help you out of it.
it absolutely can cause psychosis I started my episodes after 2 months of just one time use. I took two grams. I literally ruined my life completely. please stay away from this drug its not worth ruining your life
This is helpful in terms of helping to think about what insurance companies will think about....but it's frustrating, too, because things like building rapport, active listening, creating a safe space to explore feelings, helping a client put thoughts and feelings into words while they are attuned to by a professional, etc are the most powerful pieces of therapy. And, most people actually do not get that outside of therapy, which is probably why they are there in the first place! When these are things that people DO get from birth, consistently and often enough, they are usually quite well-adjusted, resilient human beings. Just my two cents. I still REALLY appreciate your videos. And have found many helpful tips and strategies. (I hate progress notes, like most people here!). Thank you.
6:15 25:20 So no one gets close enough to hurt you. 28:00 get high to get higher than the flames ➡️➡️suicide 31:00 other IFS therapist 👌 35:00 you’re the boss. Can we just heal the hurt Parts so they’re not so vulnerable ? 38:00 role playing 1:00:30 This is identical to something i experienced where i almost killed my father-in-law What was it like for that Part to takeover? What was it like for that Part to have me take the reins away? 1:18:35 backlash 1:23:20 The grief is starting to slow up
Amen. Thank you God. I needed this so much right now. I’m sorry I forget to ask you. I’m so tired of being angry. I’m so tired of being alone. I’m so tired of being in pain. I’m so tired of being afraid of people. I’m so tired of the indifference of so many people. Thank you for telling me to go towards the people that love the way I love. Will you please help me to know who to trust to show my weaknesses and vulnerabilities to. I’m so wounded from the hyenas all taking a bite after pretending to be from you. The liars and deceivers that are so busy pretending to be of God, pretending to win souls for God by preaching preaching preaching… Why is it so hard for them to to just love someone the way they want most to be loved? Why has it been so hard for me to love myself that way? Why have I felt like I have to earn human love? I wonder if they are capable of it. What don’t I understand yet?
If it's difficult for therapist then imagine forfamily members and siblings trying to make sense of it all. Then feeling guilty because we trigger them and make it worse. Vicious circle of hell.
I have such panic attacks with the questions in this process. It feels in my body that I don't have good answer and that panic totally derails me. Its not something that can be overcome by simply saying its ok.
Such a comprehensive and empowering tool for understanding and working towards loving and productive relationships. Thank you for your generosity in sharing 🙏
Having been trained in IFS, EMDR and ART I felt that ART was a nice combination and synthesis of EMDR and IFS, you have the BLS and always have the option of using parts work in multiple steps in the ART protocol
Abolish this primitive heterosexual identity, which is raised and learned from childhood. In nature, a woman becomes pregnant after sexual intercourse and in nature there are no contraceptives, nor are they intended. This heterosexual couple relationship came about through the Neolithic revolution and was solidified by religions.
Jakes this is all stupid part ill never get it im mad critic is as strong as mine . Also you have a really remarkable resemblance to a british comedian actor ricky tomlison😂
and of course the therapist will have to be acting from Self and have done the work to make it possible and naturally effortless to allow then to remain unwavered - neither of which is a given from my experience - because they haven't found IFS. The system is utterly world changing and if it hasn't yet helped you, give it a few goes because it might not work/be understood immediately and anyway, it's better than 2nd place by miles. I had accessed Self a lot prior to being shown the model, it went a long way in speeding up the time it would have taken otherwise but that was a bonus but you might find it easier if have had an effective spiritual practice for some time it's one of the fastest paths to the Self available and more importantly since healing usually takes a little time, it is availble in a much more stable and less distracted way than the usual routes of meditation
