IFS-Specific
Books & Resources
Note: I recommend reading the "Introduction to IFS" document I created over reading the IFS books themselves. With the exception of the Daily Parts Meditation Practice book, the feedback I have received from clients is that the IFS books are detailed and can be a dense read. I list them here for those who may want to take a deeper dive and created the "Introduction to IFS" document to provide a resource to those looking for an overview.
