This is the first part of an interview with Bob Falconer. He discusses how his own history of trauma led him to Internal Family Systems (IFS) and why he feels it saved him, and how he's seen it heal others. Bob goes on to explain what IFS is, what the Self and Parts are, and why he believes it's the most powerful model for healing.

Bob Falconer has been working with, teaching, and consulting on IFS for more than 14 years. He's just published his latest book: The Others Within Us: Internal Family Systems, Porous Mind, and Spiritual Possession - on unattached burdens and guides. Available on Amazon at: a.co/d/6c0gn2F

In his last book 'Many Minds, One Self', co-authored with Richard Schwartz, Bob researched deeply and documented the links to IFS's paradigm of multiplicity of mind throughout history in many different cultures, religions, and traditions.

    I agree. This is a depth therapy that relatively quickly moves to solve inner conflicts. I do believe expertise by the therapist is required, otherwise you would have healed yourself before IFS came along. What it does do is empower the client gradually. Or more accurately enable the client to find their own center (and power) which they believed they had lost, but which was actually simply spun off to “parts”.

    Bob has such a heart for humanity and healing… energies like his make our world just a little bit safer to step out into. As a trauma survivor, and with my walk with the Spirit as my guide, nothing short of magic happened. Thank you, Bob. I look forward to listening to your channel and I pray for a spiritual synchronicity one day where I can talk my shy part into introducing myself to you and at least fist bumping or shaking your hand. Thank you for your relentless pursuit for healing and brilliant mind 🦋🫶🙏
