As an IFS-informed therapist, I am constantly amazed at the wisdom and power released when we "go inside" and work with the parts holding old hurts and old habits of coping. Feelings that won’t resolve, thoughts that won’t be stilled, and behaviors that we cannot change can point us to a treasure within ourselves. “If it’s in the way, it’s the way,” as Eugene Cash said. When we listen and respond to these parts of ourselves, energy, love and clarity are released into our lives. Internal Family Systems is an evidence-based model that helps us walk this path of coming to peace with ourselves.
Internal Family Systems insists that there are no bad parts of you-only good parts with bad jobs. Surprisingly, those parts that have harmful impacts are only trying to help us. When we find these parts and help them heal, our true self emerges-ready to lead us with courage, confidence and love. I can offer you reliable guidance in the IFS way of healing.
We all make sense when the whole story is told. No part of you is bad. I haven't always believed this of myself. Through IFS, I have given up the war against those parts of me of which I was ashamed and afraid. Because of this, I have the deepest trust in you. I am eager to hear that story with the conviction that every part of you belongs.
