Deep dives

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy vs. Internal Family Systems

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) posits that thoughts directly influence emotions and behavior, suggesting that feelings of depression stem from distorted thinking patterns. For example, a person might think, 'No one likes me,' leading to feelings of sadness. In contrast, Internal Family Systems (IFS) suggests that such negative beliefs may come from an 'exile' part, often linked to a painful past experience, such as childhood trauma. IFS aims to acknowledge and communicate with these parts to understand and release the unhealthy beliefs they've adopted.
