Internal Family Systems (IFS)

What is IFS? 

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a form of therapy that is based on the idea that the mind is made up of different parts, or sub-personalities, that work together to help a person function. In IFS therapy, the therapist works with the person to help them identify and understand these different parts, and to learn how to communicate and cooperate with them in order to achieve their goals and improve their overall mental health. IFS therapy is focused on helping people develop a sense of self-leadership and self-awareness, and to build healthy, functional relationships with their internal parts.

How does IFS work? 

In IFS therapy, the therapist works with the person to identify and understand the different parts of their mind, and to help them develop a sense of self-leadership and self-awareness. The therapist uses a variety of techniques to help the person get in touch with their different parts and to understand how they operate. This may include using visualization, imagery, and other mindfulness techniques to help the person connect with their internal parts and to gain insight into their behavior and thoughts.

Is IFS Safe? 

IFS therapy is generally considered to be a safe and effective form of treatment for a variety of mental health conditions. It is a gentle and non-confrontational approach to therapy, and it is focused on helping people develop a sense of self-awareness and self-leadership. Like any form of therapy, it is important to work with a trained and experienced therapist who can help guide you through the process and ensure that you are getting the most benefit from the therapy. It is always a good idea to discuss any concerns you may have with your therapist, and to make sure that you feel comfortable and safe during the therapy process.
