JMAM (Japan Management Association Management Center, President: Shiro Cho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo) released the book '56 Exercises and 12 Meditations to Heal Anxiety, Self-Loathing, and Emotional Wounds and Reclaim Your True Self: The Official IFS Internal Family Systems Workbook' at bookstores and online retailers nationwide on Tuesday, June 2, 2026.

■About This Book

The only 'official' workbook by Dr. Richard C. Schwartz, the founder of IFS (Internal Family Systems). A book to meet, understand, and heal your inner 'parts' at your own pace, in your own time.

The Internal Family Systems (IFS) model posits that each of us is not a single personality. Rather, we each harbor a 'family' of different inner parts, each carrying its own wounds and conflicts. We can heal these parts to live with more confidence, courage, and connection.

Through this book, Dr. Schwartz provides invaluable tools for learning about IFS and applying it to your own life. Starting with an easy-to-understand overview of IFS, this workbook offers over 50 practices, exercises, and meditations to support you in:

● Understanding the 'parts' that make up your system (such as 'managers' that try to control to avoid uncomfortable situations, and 'firefighters' that react impulsively to painful emotions)
● Deepening understanding of each part and offering them compassion (you will see how each part is trying to protect you)
● Learning how to cope when parts become activated (staying calm during anxiety and bravely facing difficult situations)
● Exploring ways to heal past wounds and trauma
● Discovering your core 'Self,' the source of deepest wisdom

The workbook features a wide variety of exercises catering to different learning styles. QR codes provide access to guided meditations (audio) to further support your journey.

IFS has been proven to be a groundbreaking tool for stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, burnout, addiction, eating disorders, and relationship issues.

Dr. Schwartz writes: 'IFS changes lives. Now it's your turn to experience this transformative tool for yourself. You and all your parts are welcome here.'
