Introduction to Internal Family Systems

What's In It For Me

At the end of the training, you will:

  • Understand principles and concepts underpinning IFS as a therapeutic modality
  • Recognise roles that the sub-personalities (parts) play in the presenting issues from a non-pathologizing perspective
  • Access and explore protective parts in a session using a simple protocol
  • Deepen participants’ understanding of experiential therapeutic healing


Course Overview

Internal Family Systems is a non-pathologizing, collaborative and empowering model of therapy which fosters transformation, gently, quickly, and effectively. The IFS Model represents a synthesis of two already-existing paradigms: systems thinking and the ‘multiplicity of mind’ (aka ego-states) with an understanding that symptoms are actually the coping mechanism of our parts trying to protect us from pain.


IFS is listed in SAMHSA's National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices, rating it as “effective for improving general functioning and well-being,” and “promising for each of: improving phobia, panic, and generalized anxiety disorders and symptoms; physical health conditions and symptoms; personal resilience/self-concept; and depression and depressive symptoms.”
