Dick Schwartz, PhD: An IFS Path to Secure Internal Attachment

Dick Schwartz, PhD-speaker of the programRichard Schwartz, PhD-speaker of the programWhat do you do when a client begins each session with a list of “wrongs” committed by someone close to them?

Whether it’s their mother, their child, or their partner, the pattern is the same: your client is laser-focused on what that other person needs to change before the relationship can get better.

And while you’ve tried to help them shift their focus inward, nothing seems to land.

Because for some clients, that outward focus isn’t just defensiveness. It’s a part of them that’s trying to manage an old attachment wound.

According to Dick Schwartz, PhD, creator of Internal Family Systems (IFS), this is why developing internal attachment can be essential.

But what does that look like in practice?

That’s what Dick will be getting into in an all-new live workshop:

— New Live Workshop —

Cultivating a Secure Relationship with Yourself: An IFS Approach to Internal Attachment

During the live session, Dick will get into how to help clients turn their attention inward, soothe their activated parts, and reduce reactivity in their relationships.

Here’s the agenda:

  • How early attachment experiences organize a client’s internal parts
  • The exact in-session language that can redirect a client from describing someone else’s behavior to noticing their own activated parts
  • How to recognize when a client’s criticism of others is a signal of attachment wounds
  • Why some clients keep reaching for reassurance no matter how much they receive
  • How to help a client develop a secure internal attachment figure (and what becomes possible for clients when they can access it)

In this workshop, Dick will highlight how an IFS approach differs from traditional models that emphasize communication skills, offering a framework you can use to work with the internal processes that are driving your client’s relational distress. 

The workshop will take place live on Tuesday, June 23 from 11am-2pm Eastern Time.

There will be an opportunity to ask Dr. Schwartz your questions during the Q&A portion of the workshop.

Not only that, but your registration also includes the video recording and transcript of the presentation. If you can’t attend live, you can watch whenever it’s convenient for you.

Dick Schwartz, PhD

Dick Schwartz, PhD is the founder of Internal Family Systems (IFS).

IFS is a non-pathologizing, transformative model of therapy that has been adopted by many psychotherapists, and was hailed by Bessel van der Kolk as “the treatment method that all clinicians should know to treat clients effectively.”

Dr. Schwartz developed the IFS model in response to clients’ descriptions of various parts within themselves. He found that when the parts felt safe and were allowed to relax, clients would feel more confident, open, and compassionate.

Dr. Schwartz is a featured speaker for national professional organizations. He has published five books and over fifty articles about IFS.
