Internal Family Systems

Written By Peta Stinson

Internal Family Systems (IFS), also known as parts work, is a powerful therapeutic approach that helps you explore the different parts of yourself, each with its own voice, story, and purpose. Some of these parts may have developed long ago to protect you, but are now keeping you stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Together, we’ll gently get to know these parts, and begin to heal what they’ve been carrying.

Benefits of IFS Therapy:

  • Transform long-standing maladaptive patterns

  • Reduce inner conflict and self-criticism

  • Strengthen self-compassion and understanding
