Dick Schwartz IFS & Trauma Pt. 4 of 4

Dick talks about IFS and end of life and references the rheumatoid arthritis study (which was responsible for IFS becoming and "evidence-based therapy") in the context of the relationship between parts, pain and epigenetics. He describes getting therapist parts to soften back, the importance of working with suicidal parts and factors determining length of time for the work. He names the successes of IFS when working with PTSD and frames the work as a life practice: not merely therapeutic technique. He touches on how to clear legacy burdens, describes the reality of parts being "frozen in time" and ends with a guided meditation with audience responses.
