Internal Family Systems Therapy with Sarah Burns

What is Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)?

IFS is an evidence-based form of psychotherapy which has been shown to be highly effective in treating depression, anxiety and trauma , resulting in a deep sense of wellbeing and peace.  

IFS is a talking therapy which works with the body and the mind, based on the idea that we are all built up of different parts of the psyche - wounded, hurt parts as well as parts that try to protect us from pain. These parts can relate to each other a bit like a family - some may get on well, while others may be in conflict.   

The idea in IFS is that we all have an undamaged core at the centre of our self which is resourceful and knows exactly how to heal and live a full and creative life. It has been referred to as the “I” in the storm.

The goals of IFS are not to get rid of parts of ourselves, but to help them heal and work together from a more resourceful leadership,  creating balance and harmony in life.
