Internal Family Systems
Peace is an Inside Job
Internal Family Systems, also known as IFS or Parts Work, is an empowering and evidence-based paradigm that recognizes that a person’s core Self can transform the wounded parts of themselves that may be wreaking havoc in their lives.
IFS Parts Work helps you reclaim wellness in all areas of your life by reconnecting you with your own inner resources of self-trust, calm, confidence, and creativity.
Have you heard this advice?
-
“Fight your fear.”
-
“Beat your anxiety.”
-
“Just do it.”
Have you heard yourself saying?
-
"I'm such an idiot."
-
"Why can't I just finish that project?"
-
"I am so weak."
​Sometimes, it's a war inside.
​
What part of you is fighting the part of you that's afraid?
What part of you is judging you while you are out living your life?
Hostile advice and critical inner voices can be so common and familiar that you may not notice them, and yet they can drive you into battle with difficult feelings.
IFS recognizes that everyone has multiple voices or parts inside, and that when parts are in conflict with each other it can become stressful and even cause us to act in ways surprisingly contrary to our true desires.
So what else is possible?
Get Curious...
And learn to embrace your anxious, afraid, angry, procrastinating, judgmental, addicted, and resistant parts. With compassion and curiosity you learn what these parts are doing for you and why. Usually these parts took on protective roles when you were young in order to survive challenging circumstances. As an adult, you can use the IFS process to help these parts let go of their dysfunctional strategies so you can break free of the patterns that hold you back and reach your full potential.
When you connect with your core Self,
You will transform these parts, unravel limiting beliefs, recover vitality and energy, have more peace, let go of self-defeating behaviors, and move forward in your life with the things that really matter to you feeling more free, more confident, more relaxed, and more like yourself than ever.
