to work with the whole person, using a complete and holistic framework founded in Parts Work.
Mindset coaching skims the surface. Become certified in the system that gets to the root cause.
Built for coaches who are...
Part of you wants connection. Another part keeps people at arm's length. Part of you wants to show up fully in your life. Another part is exhausted and just wants to disappear. Part of you knows you're enough. Another part has been running on the quiet certainty that you're not.
That's not contradiction. That's not weakness. That's what it means to be human.
Most self-help tells you to silence the hard parts. Push through them. Transcend them. But what if those parts aren't the enemy? What if the anxious part, the angry part, the part that shuts down, what if every single one of them developed for a reason?
The work isn't to get rid of the parts you don't like. The work is to integrate all of you.

Real change
Doesn’t come from fixing yourself.
It comes from understanding what’s been protecting you.
You've probably tried to force the change, through willpower, through repetition, through sheer effort. But what looks like 'self-sabotage' is actually a part of you that's been protecting you, based on something that happened a long time ago and was never fully processed.
Insight alone was never going to be enough. Real, lasting change happens when you understand that part, accept it, and let it integrate, so it doesn't need to protect you in the same way anymore.

The book
All of You
HOW TO HEAL YOUR WOUNDED PARTS, RELEASE SHAME and End the War Within
This is not a self-help book that tells you who to become. It's a book about all of who you are, and why every part of you deserves to be seen, not fixed.
All of You draws on Internal Family Systems, John Bradshaw's inner child work, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and somatic trauma research to give you a framework that actually works at the level where the wounds live.

Integrated
Self Dynamics
For coaches who want to go deeper.
Most coaching frameworks stay at the surface. They help clients set goals, shift thinking, take action. And those things matter.
But what about the client who keeps self-sabotaging? The one who knows what to do and still can't do it? The one who makes progress and then, quietly, undoes it?
That's a parts problem. And if you don't have a framework for working at that level, you're limited in how far you can take someone.
Integrated Self Dynamics gives coaches the language, the tools, and the clinical roadmap to work with fragmented parts, developmental wounds, and the somatic patterns that keep clients stuck.

Hey, nice to meet you
I'm Matt Lavars
I didn't come to this work because I had it figured out. I came to it because I was a high-functioning mess. I had the career, the family, the external markers of a life that was working. And underneath all of it, I was running, from parts of myself I didn't know how to face.
What changed everything wasn't another strategy. It was a framework that finally helped me stop fighting myself and start understanding myself.
That framework is what this whole body of work is built on. And it's for anyone who is done managing symptoms and ready to do the actual work.

What we believe
Our mission
We believe most people are carrying more than they should have to carry alone. Parts of themselves they were taught to hide, silence, or outrun. And somewhere along the way, the war inside got so loud that the life they actually wanted started to feel out of reach.
We want to help you end that war.
Not by fixing the parts you don't like. Not by becoming a better version of yourself. But by turning toward all of you — with honesty, with curiosity, and with the kind of compassion most of us were never shown growing up.
We do that through books, live teaching, community, and a coaching certification that trains practitioners to go to the places most frameworks never reach. Because we believe the world changes when people stop being at war with themselves. Relationships deepen. Families heal. Children grow up in homes where all of them is welcome.
The ripple goes further than any of us can track.
That's what this is for. Every resource, every class, every conversation. All of it, for all of you.
