IFS is an empirically validated therapeutic model that views the self as made up of many different "parts". Each part has its own perspectives, feelings, and roles.

​

By getting in touch with all of those internal parts and systems, individuals can work toward wholeness and achieve a more balanced emotional state.

​

By identifying the different parts of yourself, recognizing and differentiating them, often through exploring feelings, thoughts and behaviours that seem contradictory or confusing, one can start to have a deeper understanding of themself. This allows them to begin a dialogue that understands the fears, desires, and different roles they all play in one's life.
