Sometimes the reactions we’re most ashamed of were actually protective strategies from an earlier time in our life. When we approach these parts with curiosity instead of judgment, this is where healing begins.

Instead of judging your reaction, ask:
“What was this part afraid would happen if it didn’t show up?”

That question alone can soften everything.

Self-compassion > self-criticism, always.

Ever feel like your reactions are driving the bus?

That version of you that shuts down, lashes out, or tries to keep the peace at all costs?

IFS says those are parts of you—but they aren’t you.

Your true Self is still in there—and it leads with the 8 Cs: calm, clarity, courage, confidence, curiosity, compassion, creativity, and connectedness.

IFS says those are parts of you, but they aren’t you. Even if you’re feeling totally off, the 8 Cs are still part of you. Always.

If you’ve ever thought, “Ugh, why am I like this?”--you’re not alone.

IFS therapy offers a powerful reframe:
You are not just one messy, complicated person. You’re a system made of many parts. Some protect, some overachieve, some shut down–and all of them have their reasons.

This post breaks down what those “parts” actually are (and why they matter).

Tap through to learn how IFS helps you meet yourself with more compassion, not control.

Ever look back at something you said or did and cringe a little? Same.
But what if that reaction wasn’t something wrong with you—what if it was a part of you that was trying to help?

IFS (Internal Family Systems) teaches us that even our most intense or messy moments usually come from a protective place.

In IFS therapy, we recognize that healing starts when we stop fighting those parts and start understanding them.
