Self-Therapy
by Jay Earley
A step-by-step guide to doing Internal Family Systems work on your own: accessing parts, unblending, getting to know protectors, working with exiles, and unburdening, with transcripts and exercises. It is more procedural than Schwartz's book and is the practical manual for self-guided IFS.
Read it if…
you understand IFS and want to practice it yourself between or without sessions.
Skip it if…
you are new to IFS; read No Bad Parts first.
Three things you will actually use
- Unblend before you work; the Self must lead.
- Protectors need appreciation before they step aside.
- Go slowly with exiles; permission first.
Do this first
Do the first exercise: identify a protector part and ask what it is protecting.
Our verdict
Procedural and practical.
