Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy

What is Internal Family Systems?

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic approach that views the mind as naturally composed of multiple sub-personalities or ‘parts.’ These parts are different aspects of our personality, each with its own perspective, feelings, and motivations. IFS posits that all parts have good intentions, even those that seem problematic. The goal is to access your core ‘Self’—a state of wisdom, compassion, and connectedness—and foster harmony among your parts.

How can IFS help you?

IFS therapy is beneficial for trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem. By working with your parts, you gain insight, develop self-compassion, and cultivate inner peace. IFS helps you heal past wounds, improve relationships, reduce anxiety, increase self-awareness, regulate emotions, and live a more authentic life.

Why choose IFS?

IFS offers a non-pathologizing approach, recognizing all parts of you are valuable. It emphasizes self-compassion and understanding over judgment. IFS empowers you to become your own therapist, fostering lasting change from within. Key benefits include a compassionate approach, focus on inner wisdom, effectiveness for a wide range of issues, and promoting lasting growth.

What is involved in an IFS Therapy Session?

In a session, you’ll work with a therapist to explore your inner world of parts. The therapist guides you to access your Self, understand your parts, and foster collaboration among them. Sessions involve identifying parts, exploring their roles, developing compassion, healing wounds, strengthening your connection to Self, and integrating parts into a harmonious whole.
