The Therapy That Changed My Life — Inter...

Dear Media
About this episode

This episode of Dear Gabby BIG TALK is incredibly transformational! I sat down with Dr. Richard Schwartz, founder of Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS). This therapeutic practice has changed my life. IFS has helped me heal from trauma, brought me back to inner safety, and radically improved my relationships with others and myself. I’m so psyched for you to learn about it here!

You’ll learn:

  • An introduction to IFS
  • How to explore SELF in your own life
  • The 3 types of parts we all have
  • Why we are so reactive when we’re triggered
  • Why we sometimes turn to addictive behavior
  • The intersection between IFS and spirituality
  • What it means when we spiritually bypass

And ... stick around to the end of the episode! We finish our conversation with Richard walking us through an amazing meditation. He guides all of our parts into an open space where healing can begin. It’s so beautiful!  

Press play now to hear our transformational conversation!
