IFS - Internal family systems therapy
What is IFS
Internal Family Systems (IFS) was initially developed by Dick Schwartz in the 1980’s. IFS is a compassionate and respectful trauma-informed therapy which provides opportunity for personal growth and emotional healing through compassionate self-leadership.
Internal Family System theory conceptualises our thinking mind consists of many parts, or sub-personalities, each heavily invested in keeping us safe and helping us to survive and succeed. These parts seek our attention by communicating through thoughts, emotions and physical sensations.
IFS gently guides you to listen to, learn from, and work with thoughts, emotions, and/or physical sensations with inner calm, curiosity, compassion, courage, clarity, creativity, connectedness, and confidence. These states of self-leadership facilitate psychological healing at a deep, unconscious level, freeing you up to live your best life.
The IFS therapist will partner you in your journey of self-discovery and the pace and length of therapy will be respectful of your experience and needs.
