Self-Therapy, Vol. 2: A Step-by-Step Guide to Advanced IFS Techniques for Working with Protectors

Excellent 'next step' for IFS students and practioners. Step-by-step chapters guided me through many situations I had already encountered, assuring me I was pretty much on the right track while deepening my skills appreciably. Chapter 8 (Self-Like parts) is excellent. While I don't really like the term "Self-Like" part, I can see why Jay is using it. I still prefer to think of this class as "Self being infiltrated by Stealth Parts - i.e., some degree of blended with Self. For me, this flavor seems simpler than creating a whole new category of part.... Jay Early is really shining here as a great guide for us practioners. Thanks!

The five stars I Left for the first book can be carried over here. Even if you are skeptical. Try it out! It certainly wont hurt you and it might even help!

I have found Jay’s works to be the clearest step-by-step explanations of IFS. His examples and worksheets make his books excellent resources for both therapists learning IFS and clients helping themselves. Volume 2 does not disappoint.

great training manual

Super concrete information about working with some of the more subtle parts that arise in IFS work. Both the explanations and the sample dialogue were very useful for me. I have been through level 1 training and this helped me deepen my understanding of working within the model.

very interesting and helpful in my IFS work. Gets into the subtlety of the work.

Best book I've read so far.

Jay has such a clear way of articulating things, all of his books have been profoundly helpful to me.

ok

Excellent book. Jay Earley is a pioneer in the field of psychotherapy. If there is a noble prize for psychotherapy i would give it to him.

Intelligent, accessible, practical, and it works

Este libro es una joya, viene perfectamente claro, resumido, concreto, con ejemplos. Una guía extraordinaria para el trabajo con partes internas en conflicto. Gracias!!!

Beaucoup d'intérêt pour cette thérapie, des explications limpides, un texte à recommander à quiconque veut comprendre son fonctionnement avec un regard profondément humain.
