The Science Behind It
IFS, or Internal Family Systems, was developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, who discovered that acknowledging and working with different "parts" of the mind could lead to deep personal healing. Parts Hypnosis draws from similar foundations in hypnotherapy and psychology, with schools like Ericksonian Hypnotherapy and Ego-State Therapy influencing its techniques to connect with and heal inner parts. Further developed by experts Dr. Charles Tebbetts and Dr. Roy Hunter, Parts Hypnotherapy recognizes that your mind works like an organization with different departments who can have inner conflicts and need resolution to work together. For professional inner conflicts, these tools provide effective problem resolution and greater self confidence and alignment.
