Complete IFS Session

This video is a complete Internal Family Systems session including an unburdening.

My thanks to Tammy Sollenberger for her commitment to the work.

As a therapist new to IFS, it is very helpful to be able to watch a whole IFS session with someone who holds incredible Self energy. Thank you!

The transitions between the "steps" of an IFS session just flow so effortlessly. He has such respect and connection with her inner experience as it is happening.

Derek--it is a rare treasure to see a complete IFS session inclusive of exile unburdening...and so beautifully and masterfully facilitated. Thank you for your generosity in sharing this. 💙

So wonderful to see how much you let her system steer, Derek - asking "what needs to happen here?", instead of trying to direct the session, very instructive, a great example. Thank you for sharing this! And thanks so much Tammy for sharing your process.

This was so extremely helpful to me as a client working with an ifs therapist. I have a perfectionist part that needs to know that she is doing it correctly and another part that questions if my therapist actually knows what he is doing. Seeing a real session and not something phony or scripted was invaluable. Thank you!

[juliavahakangas]

This was really helpful for my protective parts that have been fearing what an Ifs session might look like. Thank you both and Tammys parts were so touching 🙏🏻

A somatic counselor taught me about Internal Family System (IFS) - never knew about this until now - wondered why it's not well publicized? I felt so relieved that I'm not crazy dealing with multiple inner persons inside me. Was nervous that the medical society would diagnose me with incorrect labels - thankfully the tests came out negative but was left with more questions. Now, I understand I need IFS therapy. As a Deaf patient, as there any IFS specialist fluent in American Sign Language and can meet via Zoom? I wonder? Thank you both for demonstrating how IFS works, looks like and providing insights in how helpful the methods are. You both were amazing~

An incredibly effective demo of a powerful IFS session. I am studying the model and this kind of tool is invaluable as a teaching aid. Thrilling to watch a skilled and gifted practitioner at work. Thanks to Tammy for the willingness to heal (and share her process!). Thanks to Derek for the great tool.

So useful for me to understand how open I can be with my therapist.

Thank you both for sharing this excellent example of IFS for those of us learning how to help others. Thank you, Tammy, and all your parts who shared this vulnerable session with us.

[ruthznotins]

Thank you very much. It's one thing to study theory, quite another to see its' application so skillfully done by both parties.

[yvonnegallogly]

ah amazing, so lovely to watch and to see how your inner world just looked like a wonderful place to be after that session x I admire both of your work❤❤❤

[NancyGailRector]

I so appreciate her willingness to be vulnerable and allow it to be filmed and shared. This was incredibly helpful to me as someone just starting IFS. Not to mention I related too many of her parts. Derek's skill and explanations were perfect.

[allisonnavarro]

How wonderful that the both of you have shared this session in its entirety. As a clinician developing my skills with IFS, this has been very helpful. So grateful to the both of you🙏

[dmanf]

Priceless. Nice to watch a whole session, brilliantly executed.

[AllisonCrow]

There is so much in this session, both as a practicioner and my own productive and needs attention parts got some love. Tammy and parts, thank you. This is my first time experiencing Derek - and I appreciate the teaching parts weaving in and out of the work (I often work in this way). Saving this one.

[Tascountrygirl]

Thank you so much. I am in Tasmania, Australia. I am so appreciative of this beautiful IFS material that Derek and Tammy have generously offered. I am learning all I can prior to taking a certification step or personal IFS therapy.

[argnesh]

Thanks so much Tammy. As I was listening to you I was so deeply touched. My parts would travelling with you and getting some collective insight into our system. It was beautiful to watch the care between you and Derek. And Derek, such beautiful space holding. I will have to watch it again and takes some notes!

[kerrielee]

Thankyou Derek for your skill and embodiment of Ifs and Tammy to your parts for their generosity in posting this full IFS session. Very valuable for learning and integrating

[PropheticCoachTheresa]

So great to see skillful honoring of protective parts. I just discovered IFS (as in yesterday) and am devouring content on it, and have walked through it a few times with myself. Honoring the protector, managers and other parts around the exiles is a big part of the incredible effectiveness of this process, I'm experiencing. This work is a revolutionary as the polyvagal theory for trauma healing!
