Internal Family Systems ( IFS )

WHAT IS IFS?

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a transformative tool that conceives every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts lead by a core Self.

We believe the mind is naturally multiple and that is a good thing. This is revolutionary in therapy, seeing us as the multi-faceted and multi-dimensional beings that we are.

In IFS, a part is a sub-personality with its own beliefs, viewpoints, interests, roles and burdens. The assumption is that every part has good intentions even though not everything they do for us is always helpful.

“Healing isn’t about getting rid of the bad parts,

it’s about learning to love and accept all of our parts.”

– Richard Schwartz (IFS Founder)

These sessions are a chance to see the loops and cycles of thinking which inhibit healthy access to Self, through getting to know our parts and their needs. 

By viewing our parts, getting to know them, and asking what they need, provides us with deeper connection to Truth, dissolving the dis-ease created in the present through past experience.

While you receive sessions, you are also picking up these life-lasting tools. See it as 121 training.

Our current reality is built on past experience, and if you are struggling to evolve old sabotaging patterns, this tool can help you to access the lost, abandoned and rejected parts of us that need to be heard before they are integrated into our systems.

Until then they’ll keep letting us know they are holding onto something that needs to be heard.

And they'll get louder and louder until they can't be avoided anymore...anyone familiar with that pattern?

Is there a voice that’s pretty insistent at the moment,

or a sensation that keeps showing up,

a habit you just can’t break,

a dream that’s repeating,

maybe a relationship dynamic that’s happened again,

or a dis-ease in your being that you just can’t shift… 

If so, ask yourself if you're ready for your parts to teach you what you need to know?

If it's a yes, then maybe the Intro session package or monthly IFS group circles are calling you?

“Self is in everyone. It can’t be damaged. It knows how to heal. IFS is frequently used as an evidence-based psychotherapy, helping people heal by accessing and healing their protective and wounded inner parts. IFS creates inner and outer connectedness by helping people first access their Self and, from that core, come to understand and heal their parts.”
