Real IFS Therapy Session: "Ashley" Part 1

In this live IFS therapy session, I guide my client Ashley through a deep exploration of her inner parts. This session focuses on helping Ashley connect with her younger self and address long-held feelings of loneliness and judgment with IFS techniques. Through compassionate inquiry and supportive presence, Ashley begins to heal and find a sense of safety and release.

 Key Takeaways from this session:

1. Inner Child Healing:
Ashley reconnects with her teenage self, who experienced significant loneliness and emotional pain, allowing her to release these pent-up feelings.

2. Comfort in the Present:
By providing comfort and reassurance in the present moment, Ashley's inner child begins to feel safer and less overwhelmed by past memories.

3. Curiosity Toward Judgmental Parts: 
I guide Ashley to approach her critical, logical part with curiosity, revealing its protective intentions and long standing role.

4. Shifting Roles: 
The session highlights the possibility of allowing parts to shift roles, as Ashley's logical part, once a strict overseer, is given permission to play and relax.

5. Ongoing Self-Care: 
The importance of regular check-ins with inner parts is emphasized, ensuring continued support and healing for Ashley's younger selves.
