Helping a Hierarchy of Firefighters - Martha Sweezy

In this video, Martha talks with her client, Ian, about his firefighters of gambling and suicide, who are helping him escape the pain and despair of a very sad part around the devastation he sees in the world. When we understand that firefighters always have good intention, we can offer to go and help what they protect. This excerpt is from Martha Sweezy's book "Internal Family Systems for Shame and Guilt."
