Synopsis "Somatic Internal Family Systems Therapy: Awareness, Breath, Resonance, Movement and Touch in Practice"

Applying somatic principles to the Internal Family Systems model Somatic Internal Family Systems Therapy introduces a new therapeutic modality that blends principles of somatic therapy--like movement, touch, and breathwork--with the traditional tools of the Internal Family Systems framework. Broadening the benefits and applications of the IFS model, author Susan McConnell introduces 5 core practices that mental health professionals can apply to their practice: somatic awareness, conscious breathing, radical resonance, mindful movement, and attuned touch. Clinical applications include the treatment of depression, trauma, anxiety, eating disorders, chronic illness, and attachment disorders. Within the IFS framework, clients will learn to identify their inner worlds--the discrete subpersonalities within each of us that hold emotions, perceptions, and belief systems, and that affect our behavior and emotional wellness. Body-based somatic tools are incorporated into therapy as patients learn to recognize different facets of their internal family and reconcile the needs of subpersonalities--like their inner child or internal manager--to bring more harmony to their physical and emotional well-being.

He began his career as a systemic family therapist and academic at the University of Illinois and Northwestern University. He is mainly recognized for developing the Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, a therapeutic model that depathologizes the personality made up of multiple parts

Among his most notable works is No Bad Parts (2021), where he explores how to heal trauma and regain wholeness using the IFS model. Additionally, he co-authored Internal Family Systems Therapy (2023), which delves into the clinical application of this therapeutic approach.
