Understanding Multiplicity in Internal Family Systems Therapy

Internal Family Systems Therapy introduces the concept of multiplicity within the psyche, emphasizing that various centers of motivation, viewpoints, and communication exist. To grasp this perspective, individuals are encouraged to turn their attention inward, observe thoughts, feelings, and sensations, and engage in a dialogue with different parts of themselves. By exploring these internal interactions, individuals can access compassionate and courageous states, essential for addressing distress.
