    www.personalgrowthconnect.com - peer support; find an IFS buddy; and more
.
    www.psychemaps.com - the Inner Critic questionnaire lives here.


    Many individual IFS practitioners have their own sites, as well.

    Therapists, Practitioners and Coaches
    These therapists are on the Parts Therapy / IFS Mailing List:


    Liz Dyde at www.lizdyde.com; Liz is a psychotherapist, coach and EFT practitioner in Stratford-upon-Avon, UK, who conducts sessions on Skype. She is interested in IFS and uses it in her practice.

    Mark Hurwich at www.ConcentratedCoaching.NET office: 267-629-2189 and cell: 917-826-7776; Mark is an IFS practitioner/coach in Pennsylvania who also works via Skype.

    Jay Earley and Bonnie Weiss offer personal and group therapy (including distance options).

    Visit the official IFS practitioner directory for a full list of people trained in the IFS approach. They may not know much about TMS but we can teach them as they teach us the principles of working with parts!

    IMPORTANT: many people can learn to help themselves with IFS through books and videos. Some will benefit from working with a therapist but are not necessarily tied down to expensive therapy sessions for a long period of time.

    The video is long but I watched a little at it is very interesting.
    I'll get back to it soon as I can.

    It sure is a long video but worthwhile. I'd love to hear your take on it, Walt, when you are done. I'll have to listen to it again, myself.
