IFS Therapy is a somatic therapy model that uses archetypes in an inner dialogue to help uncover false beliefs, pain and suffering. Your IFS Therapist will guide you to dialogue with the suffering as if it is a personified inner part of you.   In this inner dialogue there is the Self; the person in their purest form that works to have compassion toward the parts and be curious as to how the part developed its role that no longer serves you in you life.  Some have compared this to the Observant Mind in Buddhism. And the conceptualization of the Self in IFS Therapy, is very comparable with the idea of one's  Buddha-nature Self.

​

IFS Therapy is a non-pathologizing model of psychotherapy, that works to use the compassion of the Self, to repair the inaccurate conclusions the person holds about themselves (that their inner parts hold) that have caused them to suffer.  With a skilled IFS Therapist, a person can find real results in greatly reducing numerous mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic pain and suffering.
