Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy focuses on identifying the different parts of ourselves that emerge in various situations, which can lead to anxiety, resentment, or depression.

Internal Family Systems therapy offers a concrete method for individuals to explore their inner parts and achieve personal growth, which can ultimately change the world.

IFS therapy allows individuals to become their own therapists, learning to nurture and protect their inner selves, but I resisted bringing it to the public for a long time because I learned that individuals with significant trauma are quite delicate, and exposing vulnerable parts can lead to fear and resistance.

In therapy, it's important to understand the patterns developed in childhood to address systemic challenges within the family system.

IFS therapy not only addresses internal challenges but also promotes the growth of confidence, openness, and compassion.

Healing involves addressing the pain and shame that drive addiction, allowing individuals to explore their fears and find healthier coping mechanisms.

In therapy, when conflicts arise, we encourage individuals to take a timeout and reflect on their internal parts before re-engaging, which helps to resolve conflicts more effectively.

We created a workbook for people to engage with IFS without necessarily confronting their most vulnerable parts directly, allowing them to work with their protectors and understand that these parts are not their entire identity.

To effectively address addiction, it's important to help individuals recognize when their state is shifting towards substance use, allowing for intervention before the behavior becomes inevitable. This requires a deep understanding of their mental and emotional states.
