IFS Talk with Larry Rosenberg on Welcoming Erotic Parts

Larry Rosenberg, a psychologist and IFS enthusiast, discusses integrating Internal Family Systems with an interest in sexuality. He reflects on his journey into mental health, influenced by his role as a family therapist and early exposure to psychology. Rosenberg details his initial skepticism toward the experiential aspects of IFS and his eventual embrace of the model after a personal breakthrough. He addresses the challenges therapists face in discussing sexuality due to societal taboos and personal discomfort, advocating for therapists to explore their own sexual selves. Rosenberg also shares practical exercises, like the touching pinkies exercise, to help couples reconnect physically and emotionally, and expresses his hope for IFS to be used in conflict resolution.
