Internal Family Systems (IFS)
At Luna Psychotherapy, Internal Family System (IFS) therapy helps clients explore their inner dynamics and understand how different parts of themselves interact. This approach is particularly effective for neurodivergent individuals, such as people diagnosed with ADHD or autism, allowing them to process the emotional challenges effectively.
Transformative Benefits of IFS Therapy
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy offers
profound benefits for emotional healing and personal growth. It addresses traumatic wounds by helping individuals connect with and heal the parts of themselves holding unresolved trauma, fostering deep emotional recovery through compassion and support.
​
IFS also enhances self-awareness by exploring one’s inner world, providing insights into how internal dynamics influence thoughts and behaviors. This heightened self-awareness supports personal development and a more intentional life.
​
In relationships, IFS promotes clarity and empathy by
increasing understanding of one's internal processes. This awareness reduces conflict, improves communication, and helps manage personal triggers.
​
Ultimately, IFS empowers individuals to take charge of their emotional responses. By addressing the root causes of their reactions, individuals can develop effective coping strategies, leading to a more balanced and harmonious life.
3 Parts of IFS
IFS aims to help individuals develop healthier relationships with their parts, leading to greater internal harmony and well-being.
Exile
​These are the injured, fragile aspects of ourselves that contain painful emotions, memories, and beliefs. They are often the result of traumatic incidents in childhood and may cause feelings of isolation, fear, or humiliation.
Managers
These are the protective aspects that attempt to shield us from the anguish of the exiles. To avert emotional suffering, they may employ a variety of methods, including avoidance, control, or perfectionism.
Firefighters
These are the reaction parts that appear when the exiles are overwhelmed or distressed. They may indulge in impulsive behaviours such as substance misuse, overeating, or self-harm in an attempt to calm or divert from the pain.
