Internal Family System Therapy

[faraway]

Does anyone else's therapist use this model with them? We've just started doing this kind of work and I'm finding it really useful / helpful.

I'm also reading Schwartz's book, Internal Family Systems Therapy in conjunction and finding it really interesting.

Just wondered if anyone else had any experiences with this model?

My therapist does use Internal Family Systems (IFS). I have found it very helpful. I must admit I was a little skeptical at first. I think because I was thinking split personalities. But that is NOT what it is. It really does make sense. This is not the only therapy my therapist uses with me. I am lucky to have a wonderful therapist.

I'm interested in this, found a therapist who is using IFS. There are a number of potential benefits to this person (multiple hats), but in terms of psychotherapy, this is their method. I just googled it and looked at wikipedia. Trying to read up on it some. Either for J or for me.
