"It’s been a long and laborious journey to discovering myself. Being born into a rambunctious household as the youngest of four children, my super power part was “Go Forth Unnoticed!” This served me well as a child! However, as an adult it is very limiting. After years of intense yoga practice, deep meditation and embodying Buddhist philosophy I still felt a bit invisible. Through IFS I found a way to Self that the other practices had been building a foundation for. IFS taught me the skills to bring it all together, to create a sense of welcoming wholeness, a sense of finally arriving. I’m deeply grateful for Richard Schwartz and what he shares with the mental health community and far beyond. I look forward to meeting you and your parts. - Anne
