Biographical Note:
SUSAN MCCONNELL, senior trainer for the Center for Self Leadership, has taught Internal Family Systems (IFS) in the U.S. and internationally since 1997. Somatic IFS, which McConnell developed in 2004, is a synthesis of her forty years of study, teaching, and clinical practice with bodywork, psychotherapy, and spiritual practices. McConnell holds a Master's Degree with an emphasis on Somatic Psychology, and is a Certified Internal Family Systems Therapist and a Certified Hakomi Therapist. She was also instrumental in curriculum development for IFS trainings and, as a Hakomi faculty member, for a training for bodyworkers using the Hakomi Method to explore through touch the way mind, body, heart, and spirit weave together to form the client's experiential world. McConnell has had a private practice since 1983 in Chicago, where she offers bodymind integration and consultation.

Review Quotes:
"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

"Susan McConnell writes from her heart and her embodied experience, as a counselor and an explorer in the somatic world. This book is an expression of her whole life and career, and yet the ideas are kept alive and honest through the immediacy of her practices--in psychotherapy, in somatics, and in spirituality. I hope that this book is read widely both in and beyond the IFS community."
-- Susan Aposhyan, LPC, author of Body-Mind Psychotherapy

"A brilliant psychotherapeutic integration of mind and body by a wise and experienced somatic practitioner.... Through descriptions and explanations of the five practices of Somatic IFS, illustrative case examples, and guided practices, the author connects the gifts of ancient medicine and contemporary neuroscience to the benefit of professionals and laypersons alike. A unique and timely book."
--Marcel A. Duclos, LCMHC, LPC, ACS, Diplomate, AMHCA, certified Core Energetics therapist, certified IFS therapist
