All of us know how it feels to experience conflicting emotions. “a part of me wants to …. and then there’s a part of me that doesn’t….” We must confront our inner selves, desires and behavior.

Think about the family of emotions from Pixar’s movie Inside Out – how family of emotions, Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust and Anger all interacted inside Riley Anderson’s mind to form her reactions and memories.

You are now thinking in the IFS-way. Internal Family Systems Therapy.

Many psychotherapy methods believe that there is no such thing as psychotherapy. “parts” It is not pathological. In IFS, it is not. IFS does not believe in multiplicity of the mind. Each part of the body has a good intent and all parts have value. Clients can heal themselves if each part is heard. IFS is an extremely powerful tool for clinicians. Once you see it in action, you’ll be hooked! And you’ll want to immediately incorporate it into your practice.

Richard Schwartz, Ph.D., was the creator of IFS thirty years ago. He realized that clients were describing their own experiences with different parts and many extremes within themselves when he created it.

They were less disruptive when these parts felt safe and had all their concerns addressed. As in systemic familia theory, IFS recognizes that each part plays a unique role that helps to define the inner world for the client.

IFS is a proven treatment for many mental health problems. It has been praised as the best treatment available (van der Kolk 2015).
