Calgary residents searching for wellness and emotional wholeness can turn to Internal Family Systems (IFS) for relief from their emotional turmoil. IIFS therapy offers a transformative way of exploring and healing one's inner landscape of thought and emotions; we discuss its role alongside the benefits it provides individuals on their path of self-discovery and emotional recovery.

​

Understanding Internal Family Systems Therapy

​

Internal Family Systems therapy takes an integrative, nonpathologizing approach that views our minds as made up of distinct but interdependent parts - protectors, exiles, and managers, that stem from an original, Self. These parts use the mind, emotions, and body, either consciously, or unconsciously, to engage with the world, often abandoning their original Self. The Self is our most natural, deepest Self that all other aspects, or parts of us stem from. They are working parts of us, but our Self can be described As being calm, cool, collected, compassionate, curious, creative, confident, courageous and desiring connection.  ​Being our original, true, whole Self, while working through our parts, engaging the world rightly and fully, is one of life's most profound joys this life can ever bring us.

​

Principles of IFS Therapy The foundation for IFS therapy lies within several core tenets.

​

Self-Leadership: IFS therapy emphasizes the concept of Self as the core, unhampered essence within each person, with its goal being to enable that essence to lead and align the internal parts in harmony with itself.

​

Unburdening: IFS therapy seeks to relieve emotional traumas or wounds through understanding and healing them.

Self-Integration: Self-Integration therapy aims to fully integrate and harmonize all parts of an individual to achieve emotional healing and inner balance.
