WHAT IS INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS THERAPY?
An evidence-based psycho-spiritual therapeutic model, Internal Family Systems (IFS) is non-demonizing and non-pathologizing. Its IFS core premise is that we have a multiplicity of personalities, or “parts,” within us and that all parts of us are fundamentally good.
When we experience hardship and trauma and don’t have the support we need to help us through, parts of us become wounded and begin to hold burdens. As we get older, these burdened parts take on extreme roles (as a strong inner critic, a hypervigilant part, a drinking part, a binging part, etc).
These extreme parts go through great measures to protect the young, wounded parts of us that they locked away deep inside us long ago. They exile them into dark corners of our bodies and minds, for these young parts hold overwhelming feelings like shame, anger, anxiety, loneliness, vulnerability, and sadness.
Amidst all of this, we all have a place inside of us that has never been wounded and can handle anything life serves us.
From this central place within, we experience more expansive states of being. Things like calmness and compassion, confidence and courage.
Spiritual practices help to lead us to this space inside. Yet, old wounds and traumas also bury this Self within us, making our own healing clarity hard to access at times, especially when we’re triggered or under stress.
With IFS, you work with those parts of yourself that can become extreme and overwhelm you (like an anxious part, a depressed part, an overdoing part, a dissociated part, a binging part, etc). In doing so, you learn how to help them dial back, so you can access more of your Self energy.
When we access this state of being, and bring it to the parts of ourselves that have been cut off from it from years (and often decades), old traumas can receive the love they’ve always needed and we begin to heal at the deepest level.
We can then live our lives with courage and clarity, rather than fear and protection.
