Internal Family Systems "Parts Work"

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Parts Work is a guided conversation between who you are at your core (aka Self), and the thoughts, feelings and tendencies that get in the way, (aka 'protector parts'). Protector parts, or simply protectors, may include self-doubt, inner-criticism, chronic worry or anxiousness, perfectionism, anger, an analyzer, people-pleasing, indulgence, avoidance and others.

These parts are called protectors because they keep you from feeling shame, pain, guilt, fear, and rejection.

 

For example, a people-pleasing part puts others’ happiness above yours, whereas an angry part pushes others away. Both are protecting you but in different ways: one from abandonment, the other from vulnerability.

​

With IFS parts work, you will get to know and develop a new relationship with protectors, one where YOU are in the driver’s seat, feeling calm, confident and courageous.

 

The Process

1. Start by reconnecting with your true nature (Self), which is the source of characteristics such as calmness, confidence, clarity, compassion, creativity, courage, curiosity and connectedness

2. Discover 'protectors' and learn how they work to keep you safe

3. Find and heal the wounds that power protectors

4. Put Self in control, allowing protectors to shift to more productive roles
