Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy
The Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy model is a transformative, evidence-based therapy for healing trauma and promoting well-being in adults, couples, and children.
Also known as “parts work,” IFS therapy is based on the understanding that people are made up of “parts” (also called schemas or subpersonalities) that hold our feelings, beliefs, reactions, memories, and thoughts. These parts—e.g. our relentless inner critic, our tender inner child, and many more—strongly influence how we feel and act in our day-to-day lives. Distinct from these parts is our core “Self” which is inherently calm and compassionate, allowing it to offer leadership to our internal system. Self and parts make up our “internal family” - hence the name!
