Beautiful way to guide us in our journey to greater security and sense of belonging to ourselves, by Philippe Lewis

IFS (Internal Family System) teaches that each person contains a Core Self. The qualities of Self energy can be summarized with these 8 C's -- Compassionate, Calm, Courageous, Centered, Connected, Confident, Curious, and Creative. Yup, that's who you are. Born this way. When we work with our parts that want to help (but take over), that's when it is harder to access our Self energy. With some time we can all get to know our parts and help them trust the Self to lead.

A beautiful song to help us reparent an inner child.

Internal Family System (IFS) has a beautiful way of expressing the 3 major categories of parts inside of us. They also understand that all parts have good intentions and that all parts are welcome. The Self can lead the parts like an orchestra conductor to help each part shine and work as a team. Since training more and experiencing it for myself, I've moved more and more towards this model in my practice, and really see great results! (I got this image from Welstone.nl's so...me years ago but don't see it there anymore.) #IFS, #InternalFamilySystems #Allpartsarewelcome

Have you heard about the strength-based alternative to the DSM called, Power Threat Meaning Framework (PTM)? This PTM Framework for the origins and maintenance of distress replaces the question at the heart of medicalization, ‘What is wrong with you?’ with four others: ‘What has happened to you?’ (How has Power operated in your life?) ‘How did it affect you?’ (What kind of Threats does this pose?)... ‘What sense did you make of it?’ (What is the Meaning of these situations and experiences to you?) ‘What did you have to do to survive?’ (What kinds of Threat Response are you using?) (From Page 10 of their Overview) An interesting podcast from one of the authors, Lucy Johnstone.....

This is a great little book to help clients and therapists alike to learn how to walk through developmental trauma. Many of my current clients would have seen me reference her first booklet and flip-chart. This book will include those concepts. I highly recommend getting this digital copy.
