IFS Therapy is Inner Parts work and it is a way of looking at an issue as an inner personification, or as we call it, an inner part.  When you ask, "what is IFS Therapy?" It really is the process of the IFS Therapist guiding you on how to find that personification related to the issue you want to resolve.

      This involves expertise guiding you to first access the deep and hidden subconscious material. And, then another special type of access to dialogue with the inner part to help it repair its compelled behaviors, inaccurate thoughts, or conclusions from long ago, in order to heal you life. And there is a third special area of expertise needed to ensure that the dialoguing is not just done in your head; deep nervous system access. The IFS Therapist needs to have experience and wisdom in all three of these areas to connect you to your inner parts in a way that ushers in productive unburdening of the source material of an old issue.

     You will also be learning more about real, adult self-leadership that brings you much more empowerment. To get to this, you will be strengthening the C's of Self (listed to the left here).  Don't worry though, you don't have to already know how to be that way, or how to get all that. That's what the therapy will do. It will grow you into those new places.  

     We will spend time getting to know inner parts and find out what is concerning to the part. And why the part does the behaviors (or thoughts/feelings) in your life that cause issues for you.  I will be steering the discovery process to find the burdens that the inner part carries, and the inaccurate assumptions that part made long ago, that led to those burdens. Many times those are common themes of not being worthy, not deserving, not having a right to exist as you needed to exist (as a kid), believing you don't quite have a right to have your needs met, or just a continual theme of not being heard, or not seen. Other times inner parts report having some overly adult role as a child, that was just too big of a job for a little one. 

     The power of IFS Therapy is in the quality of inner attending that comes with these special types of access to the subconscious, the nervous system, and the dialogue process. Patti's past experience in intuitive & healing arts, contributes to that very deep access and she uses it to guide the IFS process in session. Her tenured experience holds the space for you to connect to your inner parts to you can be the safe & solid adult leader they needed long ago. 

     As you practice IFS in session, your Self-Leadership, strengthens, and your parts will begin to trust you more and more. Which means they can let go more and more of their compelled strategies that keep you stuck in some issue or pattern. When this begins to happen, there is less of a sense of inner conflict, and you begin to feel more aligned with your center, and a sense of inner safety.

    The process of an inner part unburdening, as it is called, is what has proven to be life changing in IFS Therapy. And because of that, It is known to repair anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, and childhood attachment wounding, and emotional neglect in childhood that many times can be very invisible in a person's life, especially for those that have had pretty good outcomes, and have had some life "successes." And, yet, some invisible thing gnaws inside that jsut does not feel right.  IFS can find those hidden places, and touch what needs to be seen there and access the repair work.
