Understanding Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Internal Family Systems

Have you ever found yourself saying, "A part of me wants to go, but another part of me wants to stay"? Do you find decision-making difficult?

Maybe one part of you wants to start a new job, but another part wants to stay in what is known. Perhaps a part of you wants to start a new relationship, but another part fears being hurt again. We have all experienced this inner conflict because the mind is naturally multiple!

How IFS Works

**Internal Family Systems (IFS)**, a transformative psychotherapy model, posits that we all have various "**parts**" or subpersonalities that make up our internal system. Parts may manifest as internal dialog, thoughts, body sensations, or emotions. These parts interact with each other and conflicts arise when they have differing beliefs about what is best for you.

If this resonates with you, we would love to help you understand your internal system. We can assist you in working toward **self-compassion** and releasing the burdens these parts carry.
