He speaks with such compassion, gentleness, and wisdom--and radiates a sense of calmness.

Thank you. I am trying to do IFS with myself. Not sure what I’m doing but it seems to be working with lovely videos like this to guide I feel the gentle love emanating from you and gives me hope.

I love the piece highlighting the burden of social constructs creating difference as “less than” and “wrong” as a way of protectors managing the exiles holding shame. That is powerful on its own on many levels. This model is building many “compassion warriors” ❤

Every secondary school in the UK should have at least one IFS counsellor.

Derek, you are a gift to humanity.

Derek, thank you for this video. It's so moving it brought me to tears. All you're talking about is really up to date, especially taking into account the nowaday situation in my country (Russia). I'm currently doing a course in IFS with two certified IFS therapists and waiting for my turn on a waiting list for a certified IFS training. Hope our society will become healthier when more people's exiles are healed. Alina

Thank you as always for your eloquent and impassioned work, Derek.

Derek thank you so much for providing these thoughts, and extremely useful videos. I had a spontaneous inner work with an exile and unburdening, while I was listening to your voice in the background! Thank you for sharing your Self energy and knowledge with the world 🙏

Thankyou this model has helped my daughter recover from family trauma. Now she is sharing this model with me.😊

Yes reducing the Fear of approaching the exiles is needed thank you for noticing this need!

Superb. IFS isn't just a therapy, it's a way to approach humanity. It has made me a better (by my ideals), more compassionate person. Thank you for what you're providing for us.

Thank you for this. So enlightening. As much as learning about IFS. I loved the last ten - fifteen minutes. 'Once the "less than" has been cleared, there's no need to be 'better than'. Sorry if I've quoted wrong. Love it ❤

I feel more compassionate just listening to you Derek! I will listen to this over and over again. I want to be a Compassion Warrior!!!

Thank you so much. The video came up just as I woke up to do my unburdening ❤ absolutely resonate with the feeling of understanding unkind parts of others with compassion after healing. I have experienced that 2 years ago. Tragedy struck again in my life and now I am healing parts with serious anxiety and grief. Very helpful Derek 🙏

Your presentations on IFS are brilliant Derek. Between your work and that of Loch Kelly I feel I have everything I need to finally heal the trauma wounds I've carried my whole life. Yes, I've trained as a psychotherapist and have years of exploring non-dual teachings of both Buddhism and Hinduism. In many ways all of that seems simply the introduction I needed to avail myself of what you and Loch so generously share... all of it within the frame of Internal Family Systems. I have been sharing your videos and will certainly share this. Thank you.

I love your videos. Thank you for putting them out.

I loved this video! So clear. Thanks Derek!

Ohhhh a new upload!!! I am SO excited to listen in. Thank you SO much for speaking into this reservation/concern to "go there"

thank you derek for your clarity and generosity of spirit and helping me learn how to be more compassionate. I resonate!

Thanks Derek. Really helpful video. Really appreciate all the content that you're putting out on KZfaq.

Thank you for your wisdom and compassion. Your compassionate countenance was a gift to me today. Thank you.

Stellar explanations ….as always from Derek.

Thank you Derek, you have articulated this very well....

What a beautiful soul. I'm so grateful for you and that you shared this wisdom, insight, and compassion in this video. God Bless YOU!

Thank you for this teaching that clearly explains IFS and gives courage to those of us who haven’t taken the formal trainings. 32:33

I think the core of IFS is self healing.. It sure seams like I am being directed that way.. I do appreciate all of these videos.. Thank you..

Thank you for the work you do! ❤

Absolutely Wonderful Words! Thank you dear Derek from the bottom of my heart 🤗🧡🙏

Thank you for this message. Important stuff.

You are such a lovely person. This explains tumpism so accurately, and without shaming, either, I might add.💟

So very touching! Thank you

Thank you for sharing your experience 🌷

✅ very good video

Derek, thank you for all of your videos in which you so clearly and compassionately describe and illustrate the IFS Model and it’s many values and benefits. I’d love to have some sessions with you! My immediate question is, is there an IFS Application in Organizations? Specifically, so many organizations, as an example, hold a corporate value, or a cultural imperative, around the need for Teamwork. This is clearly based upon all of the research done since the 1950s that demonstrate the significance of people working together to communicate, build relationships, solve problems creatively, plan strategically, etc. However, I have yet to meet an organizational psychologist, or consultant, who has the courage to address internal team conflict using the IFS Model when it seems so appropriate. I have worked with teams in the past and have seen how parts (one or several team members) will shame, or even exile, another part (or member), especially if that member characteristically is “annoying” for whatever reason. Once, a Director even described a team member of hers as a curmudgeon; not understanding or valuing that this person can make very valid points in discussions and contribute significantly to team outcomes. Instead, she expected me to go in and “put him in his place” (and probe why he needed to be exiled). I have also, literally, seen members (with exiled parts) within teams being triggered by managers (because of what they said, and/or how they said it) and when the employee acts out aggressively, feeling extremely hurt; the manager will simply conclude that this person is not a “team player,” and shame them by taking disciplinary action or writing something negative in the person’s performance review effecting their chances for any future salary increases, promotion, etc. Again, I’m curious to learn if there is an IFS Application in organizations for team building, communications, problem-solving, leadership, etc.? Thank you.

God bless you to❤

How do I book a session with you please?
