Class Description
From the “No Bad Parts” jacket cover, “Is there some part of yourself that you wish would go away?”
You might have an inner critic, bad habits, monkey mind. Over the last 40 years, Richard Schwartz has developed and expanded the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model. Used by therapists, coaches, and many other professions to help people discover their multifaceted minds. The book has exercises in each chapter designed to help the reader understand their “parts”. Participants will be asked to read two chapters for each class and we’ll do selected exercises together.
