Internal Family Systems (IFS). Now available in Cairns, Far North Queensland.
IFS is an increasingly popular psychotherapy based on the understanding that we (all humans) are not one fixed personality. Instead, we are made up of many different parts, or sub-personalities, each with its own feelings, beliefs and ways of trying to help us.
These might include perfectionist parts, people-pleasing parts, inner critics and younger parts carrying painful experiences or beliefs. IFS also recognises that beneath these parts, we each have a core, authentic Self—the heart of who we are when there are no problems to solve.
Internal Family Systems Therapy helps you understand and befriend your parts, rather than fighting with them or allowing them to take over. As your relationship with your inner system changes, you can begin to live with greater compassion, choice and Self-leadership.
