Deep dives
Introduction to Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) posits that each person has multiple parts, akin to members of a family, each playing distinct roles influenced by life experiences. These parts can hold valuable insights but may become dysfunctional due to trauma, forming burdens that impact overall well-being. Non-judgmental acknowledgment of these parts is essential for healing; rather than dismissing or attacking them, compassion allows for understanding and integration. Recognizing that all parts have good intentions fosters a healthier internal dialogue and lays the groundwork for healing.
