Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy
At Still Flowing Wellness, we offer Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy, a compassionate and transformative approach to understanding and healing your inner world.
IFS Therapy, developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, views the mind as composed of various “parts,” each with its own unique perspective and role. This modality helps clients build a relationship with their internal system, fostering self-awareness, self-compassion, and healing.
How Does IFS Therapy Work?IFS Therapy is based on the idea that everyone has a “Self” that serves as a compassionate, wise, and confident core. Alongside this Self, there are “parts” of us—subpersonalities that hold different emotions, beliefs, and roles. These parts often fall into three categories:
- Exiles: Parts carrying pain, shame, or trauma from past experiences.
- Managers: Parts trying to maintain control and prevent pain by managing daily life.
- Firefighters: Parts attempting to suppress or distract from pain through impulsive behaviors.
IFS Therapy helps clients:
- Recognize and understand their internal parts.
- Heal wounded or burdened parts (exiles) through compassion and care.
- Restore balance by helping all parts align with the Self, promoting harmony and well-being.
What Issues Can IFS Therapy Address?IFS Therapy is effective in treating a variety of challenges, including:
- Trauma and PTSD
- Anxiety and depression
- Self-esteem and self-worth issues
- Relationship conflicts
- Addictions and compulsive behaviors
- Grief and loss
