Internal Family Systems (IFS)
At Luna Psychotherapy, Internal Family System (IFS) therapy helps clients explore their inner dynamics and understand how different parts of themselves interact. This approach is particularly effective for neurodivergent individuals, such as people diagnosed with ADHD or autism, allowing them to process the emotional challenges effectively.
Exile
These are the injured, fragile aspects of ourselves that contain painful emotions, memories, and beliefs. They are often the result of traumatic incidents in childhood and may cause feelings of isolation, fear, or humiliation.
Managers
These are the protective aspects that attempt to shield us from the anguish of the exiles. To avert emotional suffering, they may employ a variety of methods, including avoidance, control, or perfectionism.
Firefighters
These are the reaction parts that appear when the exiles are overwhelmed or distressed. They may indulge in impulsive behaviours such as substance misuse, overeating, or self-harm in an attempt to calm or divert from the pain.
The 3 parts of IFS
IFS aims to help individuals develop healthier relationships with their parts, leading to greater internal harmony and well-being.
