Finding Balance Beyond Success

Who would understand this pull better than most professionals, great leaders, and individuals of high achievement? Mixed with that inward motion is the temperance or resistance that stops them from doing something. It is a kind of inward tug-of-war that can drain even the staunchest person and leave him stuck or unsure about the next step to take.

This is where IFS therapy for self-development comes in, different from any other approach. Rather than suppressing, ignoring, or working through parts that seem to be in conflict, here is a process that helps those parts learn to work together. It is about creating balance rather than forcing change.
