Book Synopsis

Do you feel stuck?
Is your life - and are your relationships - lacking in spark, intimacy and vulnerability?
Do you find that therapy just doesn't quite work for you, though you've tried it several times?

It's time to try a different way of thinking, feeling and being.

Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS) is the fastest growing psychotherapy in the world - perhaps because it can be used in everyday life, at any different level, by anyone willing to embrace the paradigm shift of parts and Self-leadership.

In Internal Family Systems: Making A Start, leading IFS therapist Emma Redfern will introduce the revolutionary concept of multiplicity, or parts, in a book which will challenge everything that you ever thought about therapy.
With curiosity, a superpower quality, at its core, this book features all the key IFS concepts, practices and methods of use, along with an explanation of its benefits and a troubleshooting section (in addition to informative appendices). It is likely you will never think about yourself in the same way again, or underestimate the power of curiosity, as you begin your journey in understanding your own internal family of parts and Self.

Using line drawings, bullet points, candid self-disclosure, case studies and journal prompts, this is an approachable and authoritative book that is ideal for newcomers to IFS (and those more versed in it) and which will transform the way you think about therapy. To improve your mental flexibility, emotional regulation and interpersonal tolerance, and to find greater balance in all areas of your life, start here.
