INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS (IFS) 

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a form of healing that focuses on subconscious work. A comprehensive approach that includes guidelines for working with individuals, couples, and families using the principles and techniques from Dr. Richard Schwartz's model. 

​

By going deep into our psyche, we can discover the various parts where certain behaviors come from and begin healing them by getting down to the core problem.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A SESSION?

For individuals or couples: the mind has all the questions, the subconscious has all the answers.
 

Couples get into conflict because one persons "stuff" is bumping into the other persons "stuff." I work individually to identify triggers and clear out as much as possible. When I work with you in this couples session, we identify the patterns that you have fallen into. This empowers you both to break the routine and create a relationship that you are both longing for.
 


At your first session:

​

  • You will come to a relaxing environment.

  • We will assess what issues you have in your life.

  • You will be guided through a meditative state using various imaging/imagery techniques so you can tune into your body and your parts.

  • You can get to meet parts of yourself that are causing the disconnections in your life.

  • We can heal them. You can be free.

  • Ursula offers IFS services either as a 1-hr session for specific issues, or as a series for more in-depth personal healing work. 

THE PROCESS

IFS advances wellness in a number of unique ways:

​

  • By showing respect and appreciation for the client's protective parts, it reduces resistance and backlash.

  • It helps clients fully unburden the extreme beliefs and emotions accrued from trauma so they often leave sessions feeling lighter rather than labile.

  • The affect is regulated in a simple and effective way so clients are not overwhelmed during sessions.

  • It is the client's Self that is leading the healing, transference is reduced and clients do much of the work on their own between sessions.

  • Clients feel empowered and the work is often more brief than more traditional approaches.
