Somatic Internal Family Systems Therapy

McConnell spent four decades earning the right to write this book, and the five-practice framework she introduces — somatic awareness, breathing, resonance, movement, touch — gives IFS practitioners a genuinely structured pathway into body-centered work that the field has needed. Endorsement from IFS founder Richard Schwartz and the Midwest Book Review's strong reception are meaningful signals. Readers without IFS grounding will need to do homework first, and touch-based practices carry real ethical considerations, but for the target audience this is a serious and practical resource.
