Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Developing a more compassionate relationship with every part of yourself. Rather than trying to get rid of, or ‘fix’ difficult thoughts or emotions, IFS invites us to listen and understand their purpose with compassion and curiosity.
There are no bad parts.
We all have different parts of ourselves.
Perhaps there's a part that worries.
A part that strives for perfection.
A part that avoids conflict.
A part that feels hurt.
A part that protects.
As we come to know these parts, and develop a relationship with them with greater curisosity and compassion, we begin to make deeper sense of who we are.
IFS may resonate with you if….
◎ You notice different parts of yourself pulling in different directions.
◎ You often criticise yourself or struggle with self-compassion
◎ You find yourself repeating patterns you'd like to understand.
◎ You feel caught between different emotions or needs.
◎ You'd like to explore your inner world with curiosity rather than judgement.
