FAQs
What is an IFS (Internal Family Systems) session?
IFS is a transformative approach that explores the intricate dynamics of our inner worlds. It involves understanding and engaging with different parts of ourselves, each with its own thoughts, emotions, and motivations. This gentle yet powerful process allows individuals to release burdens, resolve conflicts, and foster a harmonious relationship with themselves. By fostering self-compassion and facilitating a harmonious relationship among these parts, IFS aims to promote healing, emotional well-being, and personal growth.
