Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic approach that focuses on understanding and working with the different parts or aspects of an individual's personality or psyche.
IFS therapy was developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, a licensed marriage and family therapist, in the 1980s.
In IFS therapy, the therapist helps the individual access and communicate with their different parts, understand their roles and functions, and work towards resolving any internal conflicts or negative patterns of behavior.
IFS therapy can be used to address a wide range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship problems.
The approach has a strong focus on client empowerment and self-leadership, which is increasingly recognized as an important component of effective therapy.
There are several techniques used in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to help clients work with their different parts and promote healing. Here are some common techniques used in IFS:
