IFS Therapy
understand the different parts of yourself and find balance
“Part of me wants to apply for the promotion but part of me is saying I’ll never get it so don’t bother”
“I’m mostly excited for our first date but part of me is terrified they won’t like me”
“Part of me wants to visit family for the holidays but another part of me is dreading it”
These statements may be familiar to you- sometimes it’s almost as if we are split into different personalities who want opposing things or have conflicted feelings about an issue, event, or life decision. Who or what are these different personalities and driving forces inside of us? Does this mean there is something wrong, you’re too indecisive, or don’t have your own voice?
In short, not at all! Internal Family Systems, or IFS, is a non-pathologizing therapy modality where you can explore, acknowledge, and understand your inner world; your feelings, motivations, and behaviors
We will work together to help you learn how to access your inner world and get to the root of internal challenges and behaviors that may limit or minimize your life. I encourage you to read “No Bad Parts” by Richard Schwartz, as a primer to embarking on IFS work together, to support a basic understanding and language of the model. If you do not have access to the book or cannot find the time to read before we meet, please know that I will walk you through all of the steps and support your understanding of the model and how to implement in your daily life. IFS can be used to address issues including depression, anxiety, PTSD/trauma, and more. Getting to really know and understand yourself can help you to make profound, long-lasting changes in your daily life.
