Parts Work: A Path of the Heart
Praise by IFS founder, Richard Schwartz
"In this new book, Tom pioneers once again by exploring the spiritual side of IFS.... The book is well-written and full of clear instructions and examples of how to help clients access this resource."
The 2022 book describes the healing that can occur when IFS is integrated with the spiritual life of the person doing inner “Parts Work.” The transcripts of individual sessions illustrate this process and are accompanied by commentary about the process. Hear Tom talk about the book in the video below.
