A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Wholeness and Healing Your Inner Child Using IFS, A New, Cutting-Edge Psychotherapy Jay Earley, PhD
Self-Therapy brings the power of a cutting-edge psychotherapy approach to self-help work. Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), has been spreading rapidly across the country in the past decade. It does far more than relieve mental health symptoms such as depression or anxiety. It has a track record of being incredibly effective on a wide variety of life issues, such as loneliness, procrastination, inner conflict, or insecurity on the job. Dr. Jay Earley makes IFS accessible to everyone by teaching a complete method for psychological healing that you can use on your own. In addition to being so effective, IFS is also user friendly. It helps you to visualize and comprehend the complexity of your psyche and to relate to the various parts of yourself.
Self-Therapy is also very helpful for therapists because it presents enough detail to be a manual for the IFS model.
The fact that Jay Earley wrote this book is high praise for the IFS model because he was an accomplished writer and thinker long before encountering IFS. Richard Schwartz, PhD, creator of IFS, from the Foreword
Jay has the gift of both insight and teaching—and he uses both in his new book… Self-therapy is a wonderful cogent guide written by a wonderful cogent teacher. Geneen Roth, author of When Food is Love and Women Food and God
Enormously hopeful and empowering,… Earley’s writing is beautifully organized and clear, as compassionate and respectful as the process he is teaching, and the reader is supported and encouraged at every step…. Anyone wishing to live a richer life, or help others do so, needs to read this book. Ann Weiser Cornell, PhD, author of The Power of Focusing and The Radical Acceptance of Everything
The empowering aspects of the IFS Model find their ultimate expression in Dr. Earley’s book, Self-Therapy… Therapists will appreciate this clear map of the inner territory of the psyche and will find this book a valuable resource for their clients. Susan McConnell, senior IFS trainer
