Richard Schwartz began his career as a systemic family therapist and an academic. Grounded in systems thinking, Dr. Schwartz developed Internal Family Systems (IFS) in response to clients’ descriptions of various parts within themselves. He found that when the clients’ parts felt safe and were allowed to relax, the clients would experience spontaneously the qualities of confidence, openness, and compassion that Dr. Schwartz came to call the Self.

This is my second meditation of the day using IFS by Dr. Schwartz. I have known of the teory and done work based on it with other professionals. I always find it extremely helpful in understanding “myself”. Thank you!

IFS has been one of the most consequential teachings of my life and also a core principle and framework that I share with all of my photography clients, all of my meditation students, all of my creativity coaching clients, and all of my closest friends and family. It has made such a massive impact on my life and I will forever be grateful to you, Dr. Schwartz, for this tremendous body of work
