introduction to internal family systems
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Imagine being able to appreciate your anger, your inner critic, or your anxiety. It is possible with IFS therapy. You will learn to appreciate these as just parts of you that are actually protecting you from emotional pain. And once these parts feel understood and appreciated, they will be able to step back and allow for the parts they are protecting - I'm not good enough, It's my fault, I have no control - to tell their stories and heal. You will learn that there are no bad parts of you and that all parts are welcome in our sessions. You will learn that self-compassion is not only possible, it is essential to healing the traumas that happened to you, and no longer need to define you.
