Dreams are the language of the soul. Abiding in a domain that transcends conscious perception, they provide an objective and meaningful portrayal of our lives.

C. G. Jung’s unique approach to dreams and the creative unconscious reveals their forward moving, teleological dimension.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a new form of therapy that is compassionate, inclusive, spiritual, powerfully healing, and deeply respectful of our inner life. It recognizes that our psyches are made up of different parts, sometimes called subpersonalities. You can think of them as little people inside us. Each has its own perspective, feelings, memories, goals, and motivations. For example, one part of you might be trying to lose weight and another part might want to eat whatever you...

IFS provides a new and startling view of the human psyche. Mostly we think of ourselves as having sensible emotions and taking practical, rational actions. Of course, we recognize that occasionally irrational feelings like rage or fear pop up.

Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) works with our subpersonalities, called “parts.” An important aspect of the therapy process involves getting to know protective parts, which handle your interactions with the world and protect against your experiencing childhood pain. Ideally we get to know a protector from a place of open curiosity and compassion, which comes from our true Self. This isn’t just a matter of getting information and insight into this part. You are...
