Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic approach that views the mind as made up of multiple “parts,” each representing different feelings, roles, or protective strategies These parts are seen as sub-personalities that develop to help you cope with life experiences, especially trauma. IFS helps you understand, connect with, and heal these parts by accessing your core “Self,” which is characterized by qualities like compassion, curiosity, and calm. The goal of IFS is to unburden parts carrying pain or extreme beliefs, restore internal balance, and foster greater self-awareness and self-leadership.

What does IFS help with?

  • Trauma and PTSD: Helps process and heal from traumatic experiences by working with protective parts and wounded inner parts in a safe and compassionate way.

  • Anxiety and Panic Disorders: Helps reduce anxiety symptoms and foster emotional regulation by addressing the parts of the self that carry fear or feel overwhelmed.
