IFS - Internal Family Systems
What's the goal of IFS?
The goal is not to silence or suppress these parts,
but to listen to them with curiosity and care.
Through this process, people can cultivate true
self-compassion and gain clarity, allowing them to face life’s difficulties with more confidence and balance.
Will IFS change me?
Change here happens differently. It doesn’t come from force. It comes from finally moving with — rather than against — the deeper beliefs that have been holding your life in place. It offers a way forward NOT by fighting yourself, but by working with the deeper intelligence already within you — toward a life that moves with clarity, strength, and confidence.
What about the parts?
According to IFS, our psyche isn't a single entity but a system of
multiple parts. It distinguishes between the Self—our calm, compassionate core—and the various parts that form
in response to life’s experiences,
often as protective strategies
Will IFS fix me?
It isn’t about just figuring it out, being fixed
or just avoiding the patterns you already recognize. It's about leaning into those invisible patterns that keep shaping your life — even if you can't see them, even if you’ve adapted around them and even if you’ve succeeded in spite of them.
Are the parts bad?
No, all parts are good. At the
heart of IFS is the belief
in the inherent goodness of
every person. Parts are trying to
protect us but can get in the way.
What is IFS all about?
Put simply, IFS views the mind as a family made up of different parts, each with its own role.
Just like a family might include protectors, caregivers, or even troublemakers, our inner world consists of parts that try to help us—sometimes in conflicting ways.
