Course Description:

Is there some part of yourself that you wish would go away?

Most of us would say yes, whether we call it addiction, the inner critic, “monkey mind,” neurosis, sinfulness, bad habits, or some other disparaging name.  Yet what if there was a different way to approach these aspects of yourself that leads to true healing instead of constant inner struggle?  With No Bad Parts, Dr. Richard Schwartz teaches a revolutionary paradigm of understanding and relating with ourselves — a method that brings us into inner harmony, enhances self-compassion, and opens the doors to spiritual awakening.

Whether you are familiar with or new to Internal Family Systems, this 8-week study will help you explore the gifts held within this model of discovering your multifaceted mind.  You will learn about how your own internal family system works; begin identifying the various parts that have an active role in your daily life; learn more about the pain those parts are protecting; and move toward healing, living, and leading from your truest Self.

This course includes: weekly Zoom gatherings with all participants for discussion and sharing, and one spiritual direction or IFS session with Tracy DePue.  The book should be purchased and in hand prior to our first gathering.
