Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a form of therapy that helps individuals understand and heal the different “parts” of themselves. It is based on the idea that the mind is made up of multiple parts, each with its own feelings, beliefs, and roles, and that at our core we all have a compassionate Self that can guide healing. By building a relationship with protective and wounded parts, clients can release burdens from past experiences, reduce inner conflict, and move toward greater balance and self-compassion. IFS is often used to treat trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, but can be helpful for anyone seeking deeper self-understanding and emotional healing.
