Internal Family Systems Therapy for Addictions

In "Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy for Addictions," IFS educators Cece Sykes, Martha Sweezy, and founder Richard Schwartz present a transformative perspective on addiction, challenging the notion of it as merely a lack of willpower. Instead, they argue that addiction reflects an internal struggle among polarized, protective parts responding to emotional pain. This audiobook equips therapists with experiential exercises, assessment guidelines, and clear strategies to help clients negotiate internal conflicts and build a compassionate relationship with their protective parts. With practical case examples and downloadable resources, it serves as a comprehensive manual for fostering healing and balance in therapeutic settings.
