What is IFS?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) according to family therapist Prof. Dr. Richard Schwartz is a scientifically based, highly effective approach for personality development and inner growth.
IFS has its origins in psychotherapy and, due to its diverse potential, is finding more and more fields of application worldwide (coaching, companies, schools, etc.).
The approach assumes that every person has different personality traits that can be expressed through thoughts, feelings and physical sensations.
By accessing our healthy, invulnerable core (the SELF) with qualities such as compassion, clarity and inner strength, we can find a healthy way of dealing with all of our parts and those of our fellow human beings. This enables us to achieve inner healing and balance.
