IFS respectful approach to therapy

Richard Schwartz founder of Internal Family Systems (IFS) encourages us to acknowledge and befriend all our parts of our whole self.

Don’t get rid of the part, rather see if we can help the part retire from it’s role.

We begin by speaking for the part, for example I have a part of me that feels entitled and this part keeps me lonely. Let’s see if it’s willing to retire from its need to feel superior keeping me lonely.

Trauma is the experience of loss of connection. In therapy we are always looking at ways to connect with ourselves and others to once again feel connected and belong to others.

Somatic therapy engages you with your inner experience to find calm and a love for life. It’s just taking that first step to phone and book an appointment that can be daunting but long lasting benefits do surpass the fear of getting started.

Author Steven Hayes says and this is what we are often aiming for in our work to uplift you to this place in yourself :

Trusting your inner light is the main guidance needed to live. We need to find our light to live inspire of the shadow we come to know. This requires a shift in how we view our life to live well. When we feel vulnerable and we feel the vulnerability in our friends we we have made contact with our true self or authentic self.

When we speak from a loving aspect of our personality to a hurt part, we give them more courage to overcome the hurt, and to be happy with one’s self is to grow into a mature adult.
