"The Internal Family Systems Workbook" has been a great find as I’m just starting counselling and trying to get back on track. I hadn't heard of IFS before, but this workbook offers a clear and helpful introduction. The exercises really encourage you to explore and understand the different parts of yourself, which can be challenging but so rewarding. The deep questions force you to pause and think, making it a powerful tool for self-reflection and healing. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to do some serious inner work.

The Internal Family Systems Workbook by Richard C. Schwartz offers a comprehensive, hands-on approach to healing and self-discovery using the powerful Internal Family Systems (IFS) model. Through a series of practical exercises, meditations, and self-assessments, readers are guided to connect with their core Self while learning to compassionately understand and heal their inner parts. The workbook provides invaluable tools to help navigate emotional triggers, release burdens from past traumas, and build self-leadership. Its accessible structure makes the complex IFS model easy to follow, even for those new to the approach. By fostering a deeper relationship with all parts of oneself, readers can achieve greater emotional resilience, self-awareness, and balance. The workbook is an excellent resource for therapists, clients, and anyone on a journey toward personal growth and healing. I highly recommend it for those seeking a structured yet compassionate guide to improve their emotional well-being.

This workbook is really incredible and I highly recommend. While I don't think background knowledge in IFS is necessary because there is a lot of explanation throughout the book, I feel like this workbook is best suited alongside therapy or with some previous experience in IFS therapy sessions. As a workbook, it feels very dense, in a good way but also in a way that it feels like a life-long workbook, rather than one you could complete in a few months. I really love IFS and how it conceptualizes the psyche. It's very warm and expansive.

Thank you Sounds True Publishing and NetGalley for this ARC!

This is such an informative and helpful text! IFS is something my supervisor has trained in and we frequently use as an approach to working with teen boys in a group home setting. This book will absolutely end up on professional bookshelf full of notes and sticky notes!
