Summary:
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of therapy that suggests our mind is made up of different parts, each with its own viewpoints, feelings, and memories. The goal of IFS is to heal wounded parts and bring balance inside ourselves, which then spreads to our broader relationships and the world. IFS can benefit people with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, low self-esteem, eating disorders, addiction, and more. It is evidence-based and backed by studies showing improvements in symptoms and overall happiness. When looking for an IFS practitioner, consider their training, experience, compatibility, and approach.
