Internal Family Systems

IFS focuses on the many parts that we all have. Richard Schwartz describes parts as "little inner beings who are trying their best to keep you safe"

IFS has four goals:

1. Help parts be who they're designed to be rather than who they have been forced to be

2. Restore trust in the self

3. Re-harmonise the internal system of parts + self

4. Be more self-led
