Internal Family Systems therapy encourages people to embrace all parts of themselves, even the difficult ones. Its goal is to help people achieve balance and harmony within themselves.
IFS states that people do not have “bad” parts. Instead, they experience difficulty embracing all aspects as simultaneously affecting one another. IFS seeks to name and understand these parts and ultimately balance the factors that work toward self-growth.
Life experiences can encourage the various parts of the self to become out of balance, forcing the system into a less-than-harmonious operating state. Your IFS counselor will help you recognize these parts of yourself, inquire as to why you think they might be off-balance, and then assist you in balancing them.
People with a wide range of mental health concerns can benefit from IFS, but it is particularly effective for those who have dealt with traumatic experiences.

Life can have a way of making us feel small, but what happens when instead of viewing that smallness as inferiority or defeat, we see it as a chance to gain perspective? What happens when we surrender to what is bigger than us? What happens when we invite the parts of us that keep us stuck in judgment of our smallness to speak up? Well, we gain understanding and we become whole. While the...
