The Importance of Focus in Internal Family Systems
Focus is considered a superpower in internal family systems (IFS) therapy, as it significantly impacts emotional healing. By guiding clients to focus on specific parts of themselves or physical sensations, therapists can help them reconnect to deeper emotional experiences that often remain buried. For instance, when clients concentrate on the location of an emotion in their body, they access particular neural network patterns linked to past experiences. This focused attention is crucial in eliciting emotions, which then allows the brain to create new connections and insights necessary for healing.
