Internal Family Systems
Why Internal Family Systems (IFS)?
Internal family systems (IFS) is an evidence-based model of psychotherapy. IFS focuses on the various parts, including the Self, that exists within all individuals. IFS focuses on the internal landscape of clients, viewing the parts and Self as part of your inner family. At the heart of IFS is the understanding that there are no bad parts and each part has a positive intention. When clients begin to understand the positive intention behind each part and get to know each part, they develop the capacity for more compassion, clarity and courage to uncover more about specific parts.
