About this listen
Discover the innovative intersection of somatic therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), featuring 5 core practices to transform modern therapeutic approaches.
Enhance your clinical practice and patient outcomes by skillfully uniting body and mind through an evidence-based therapeutic modality—endorsed by leaders in the field, including Richard Schwartz.
Somatic Internal Family Systems Therapy introduces a cutting-edge therapeutic modality that merges the elements of somatic therapy, such as movement, touch, and breathwork, with the established principles of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model. Authored by Susan McConnell, this multifaceted approach is crafted for therapists, clinicians, somatic practitioners, mental health professionals, and anyone interested in innovative healing techniques. A valuable contribution to mental health treatment, this guide offers a new horizon for those engaged in the well-being of others.
This comprehensive, bestselling guide presents:
- 5 core practices: somatic awareness, conscious breathing, radical resonance, mindful movement, and attuned touch, designed for seamless integration into therapeutic work.
- Strategies to apply these practices in addressing a range of clinical conditions including depression, trauma, anxiety, eating disorders, chronic illness, and attachment disorders.
- Techniques to assist clients in identifying, understanding, and reconciling their 'inner worlds' or subpersonalities, leading to improved emotional health and behavior.
- A compelling combination of scientific insights, experiential practices, and real-world clinical stories that illuminate the theory and application of Somatic IFS.
Highly regarded mental health professionals, such as IFS founder Richard Schwartz, have applauded this essential guide. By weaving together holistic healing wisdom, modern neuroscience, and somatic practices expertise, this book serves as a crucial resource for psychotherapists across various disciplines and laypersons seeking an embodied self.

©2020 Susan McConnell (P)2021 North Atlantic BooksWhat the critics say
“I am very honored and excited that Susan McConnell has finally written this book that brings all of her wisdom from years of somatic study and practice to the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model.”—Richard Schwartz, PhD, founder of Internal Family Systems therapy and the IFS Institute
“Susan McConnell brilliantly weaves together science, clinical stories, and experiential practices to bring Somatic IFS to life for her reader. The deep wisdom she embodies from years of studying the bodymind is felt in each of the five practices that are the foundation of Somatic IFS and in her clear yet lyrical explanation of the body systems that inform each practice. McConnell is an expert guide to learning to listen to somatic stories and finding the way to Embodied Self.”—Deb Dana, LCSW, author of The Polyvagal Theory in Therapy
“Referencing many other body-oriented practices, therapists, and researchers, this book offers an up-to-date, pragmatic method of working somatically with people: a methodology which other psychotherapists—especially those from non-somatic disciplines—can readily learn from.”—Courtenay Young, UK body psychotherapist, editor of the International Journal of Psychotherapy

I can't express how much I loved this book
First, the content of this book is a gem! A key to a deeper understanding of the human experience! Secondly, the way the book was written makes it super easy to understand. No fancy complicated explanation, a lot of real-life examples to better understand the concepts and understand how this all takes place within oneself! Every therapist and people would gain from reading this book, it is written simply and clearly and is easy to understand, while still offering some deep and complex information <3 Thank you so much Susan for offering your precious knowledge in this widely accessible format, the world becomes a better place from this offering of your acquired wisdom.

It started good…
My “parts” are saying this became monotonous; the content as a whole is quite valuable but grew VERY monotonous. I don’t think this particular book translates very well to an audiobook.

This book really resonated with me.
I really enjoyed listening to this book as I feel any successful journey through therapy requires healing of the mind, body and spirit. It gives a lot of practical tips and exercises which I also found quite helpful.

annoying prosodie
bonjour, the content of the book is interesting enough that I could buy it. But the reading is hard to listen to. The reader sounds like she's quacking the sentences. That's the problem I guess with audible books: the qualities of the reader's voice are subjected to personal preferences... and then you take a chance listening to a voice you don't like. Can I ask for a refund?

really hard to follow along and focus
narrator was fine, the content just seemed to ramble and was not good for somebody trying to implement this. I compare this to the Deb Dana books, which are so much more simplified for the lay person.
