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.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic approach that views the mind as composed of various “parts,” each with distinct roles and emotions. These parts may include an inner critic, an inner child, and wounded aspects associated with feelings like anger and shame.
Are you seeking a therapist who employs IFS an evidence-based therapy and fast-acting techniques to assist with:
IFS is a transformative tool that conceives of every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts led by a core Self. IFS sees the mind as naturally multiple and that this is a good thing. Just like members of a family, inner parts are forced from their valuable states into extreme roles within us. Self is in everyone. It can’t be damaged. It knows how to heal.
IFS assists you with stepping into life with the 8 Cs:
IFS is much more than a non-pathologizing evidence-based psychotherapy to be used in a clinical setting. It is also a way of understanding personal and intimate relationships.
IFS distinguishes itself from other psychotherapy models by emphasizing the mind’s inherent multiplicity. It focuses on guiding individuals towards greater Self-leadership, recognizing that as self-awareness increases, disordered thoughts and behaviors tend to diminish.
Our counselors at Anxiety Treatment Services may incorporate principles of IFS to inform and guide their work when appropriate.
