Welcome to Part 1 of my Internal Family Systems Workbook journey (by Richard Schwartz, PhD). In this video, I walk through pages 8–31, sharing personal reflections, insights, and how the early exercises from setting intentions to identifying parts are already helping me deepen self-awareness and stay grounded.

✨ Topics in this video include:

-Why setting clear intentions matters (Page 8)

-The IFS self-assessment and emotional awareness (Page 10)

-The power of meditations for grounding Discovering the “8 C’s” of Self (calm, curiosity, clarity, etc.)

-Real-life examples of how these parts show up in my daily life

-What it feels like to be connected to your Self Reflections on attributes like impatience and curiosity

-Why making space for emotional reflection matters

Whether you're just starting your IFS journey or you’re a fellow mental health explorer, I hope this video supports your process. 🧠 If this resonates with you, feel free to leave a comment or share your own experience with the workbook below.
