| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Psychology in Seattle. I'm your host, Kirk Honda, professor, and licensed therapist. |
| 0:05.9 | Today we have a special guest on the show to talk about IFS or internal family systems. |
| 0:12.0 | This has been a theory that I've heard about from my students and from other people for a long time |
| 0:18.6 | and have just been too lazy to look up the information myself. So I decided to have |
| 0:23.3 | an expert come on the show and explain it to me so that I don't have to actually read anything. |
| 0:28.8 | Welcome to the show, Bill. Thank you. Would you like to introduce yourself to podcast land? |
| 0:33.3 | Sure. I'm a therapist at Samaritan Center of Puget Sound. I've been there since 1980. |
| 0:39.7 | I first started to talk with Dick Schwartz about this in 1986. It was intuitively very easy to grasp, |
| 0:48.2 | although the doing of internal family systems is a little more complicated. |
| 0:54.2 | Hey, deserving listeners. |
| 0:55.8 | This is an old episode that we have re-released as a patron exclusive episode. |
| 1:00.6 | So if you want to hear the full episode, you have to become a patron of the podcast by going to |
| 1:04.5 | Patreon.com. |
| 1:06.3 | Patrons get access to all the premium episodes on the Patreon page and on their phone podcast application |
| 1:13.0 | or app as they call them. |
