Richard C. Schwartz – Stop the Dread & Avoidance of Anxiety! How to Apply IFS Techniques for Anxiety
Dr. Schwartz will show you that your client’s anxiety is to be comforted – not dreaded or avoided.

The Internal Family Systems (IFS) model offers a way to help clients separate from their anxious parts and then love and comfort them. In doing so, clients can also learn where those parts are stuck in the past and retrieve them from those scary times and unload the fear they carry. This is a scary present but it’s also an opportunity to help many clients do some deep healing.
