Internal Family Systems (IFS) comes from Family Systems theory. This evidence-based approach assumes each individual possesses a variety of sub-personalities, or “parts,” and attempts to get to know each of these parts better to achieve integration of the self. By learning how different parts function as a system, people in therapy can often become better able to identify the roots of conflict in their lives, understand and moderate their emotions, create stronger internal resources, better manage conflicts or challenges that arise in their life, and achieve greater well-being overall.
