Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is an approach to therapy that aims to help individuals understand and work with the different parts of themselves.

The idea is that people have many different "parts" or aspects of themselves, each with their own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Some parts may be more dominant or influential than others, and some parts may conflict with each other.

During IFS therapy sessions, the person works with a therapist to identify their different parts and understand how they relate to each other. These parts may include the "inner child," the "inner critic," the "protector," and the "manager," among others. The goal is to help the person develop a better relationship with their parts, so that they can better manage their emotions and behaviors. This can lead to increased self-compassion and self-awareness, and a greater sense of inner peace and harmony.

IFS therapy can be a powerful tool for individuals seeking to understand and work with the different parts of themselves, and to find greater self-awareness and inner peace.
