Bob Falconer’s work arises from a lifelong devotion to healing, inner transformation, and spiritual inquiry. In the early decades of his career, he worked primarily with men who had experienced profound sexual and physical abuse, drawing both on his professional training, his lived experience, and his own path of recovery. During this time, he employed a range of parts-oriented approaches, including Ego State Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and the work of Pia Mellody.

More than twenty years ago, Bob discovered Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy, which became the central framework for his clinical, teaching, and writing work. He experiences IFS not only as a therapeutic model, but as a spiritually aligned path—one that honors the innate wisdom, wholeness, and Self-leadership within each person. His work is deeply informed by an ongoing relationship with Spirit and a sustained commitment to personal inner work.

Bob has served on staff for more than twenty official IFS Institute trainings and has completed the highest level of IFS training. He has taught and led trainings internationally—both online and in person—including in Pakistan, China, South Korea, Mexico, Poland, Spain, Canada, the United Kingdom, and with the Fort Belknap and Northern Cheyenne reservations.

He is the author of five books exploring IFS, inner life, and spiritual healing: Many Minds, One Self (2017), co-authored with Richard C. Schwartz, founder of IFS; The Others Within Us (2023); When Going Through Hell… Keep Going (2024); Opening the Inner World (2025), co-authored with two scholars of Emanuel Swedenborg; and Spirit (2025), drawn from decades of journals documenting his daily dialogues with Spirit. Bob's latest book, Self Unbroken will be released in 2026. Bob has also engaged with psychedelic exploration since 1967 and continues to view it as a potent doorway to healing and spiritual insight.

Now in his seventies, Bob’s focus is on writing, teaching, mentoring, and illuminating the spiritual dimensions of healing. He leads supervision groups and continues to work occasionally with individuals, often in collaboration with their primary therapist.
