What is Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy is a transformative approach that helps you heal and grow by understanding and harmonizing the different parts of yourself. It recognizes that your mind is made up of various sub-personalities, each with its own role and emotions, and that true healing happens when these parts feel heard, valued, and integrated. IFS empowers you to connect with your core Self, fostering self-compassion, emotional balance, and inner harmony.
What is it for?
Anxiety and Depression: Heal the parts of you that carry fear, sadness, and self-doubt by fostering self-compassion and inner balance.
Grief and Loss: Support and nurture the wounded parts of yourself that hold pain, allowing for deep healing and self-connection.
Identity and Purpose: Reconnect with your core Self, understanding the different parts of you and aligning your life with your true values and aspirations.
Relationships: Improve emotional intimacy and communication by recognizing how your inner parts influence relationship patterns and attachments.
Inner Peace: Cultivate self-leadership by harmonizing your internal system, bringing clarity, confidence, and calm into your life. Our therapists can guide you through IFS therapy in person in Calgary or online through telehealth.
How it works
1. Identifying Your Parts – In IFS, the mind is made up of different “parts” that hold emotions, beliefs, and roles. The first step is recognizing these parts, such as protectors (who try to keep you safe) and exiles (who carry deep emotional wounds).
2. Building Self-Leadership – At the core of IFS is the Self, the calm, compassionate, and wise center of who you are. You learn to access and strengthen your Self so it can lead your inner system with confidence and clarity.
3. Understanding & Healing Parts – Instead of fighting or ignoring difficult emotions, IFS helps you listen to and understand your parts. By giving them attention and compassion, you can help release past pain, unburden negative beliefs, and create inner harmony.
4. Integrating & Restoring Balance – Once parts feel heard and supported, they can shift into healthier roles, allowing for greater emotional balance, self-trust, and well-being. This leads to improved relationships, resilience, and lasting personal growth.
What Are the Benefits of IFS Therapy?
1. Emotional Healing & Self-Compassion – IFS helps you understand and heal wounded parts of yourself instead of suppressing or ignoring them. This fosters deep self-acceptance and reduces shame, anxiety, and inner conflict.
2. Improved Relationships & Communication – By recognizing how your inner parts influence relationships, IFS allows you to set healthier boundaries, express your needs more clearly, and reduce reactive behaviors in personal and professional interactions.
3. Greater Self-Leadership & Confidence – Strengthening your connection with your core Self enables you to navigate challenges with clarity, calmness, and resilience, making decisions that align with your values and goals.
4. Emotional Balance & Inner Harmony – IFS helps integrate and harmonize different parts of yourself, reducing inner tension and promoting a sense of peace, wholeness, and emotional stability in daily life.
