Internal Family System works directly with the subconscious mind.  IFS specifically wants to understand and build healthy relationships between your conscious Self and your subconscious Protective Parts.  Through exploration you begin to understand and resolve the Internal Conflict between what we want and what we actually do.  For example, there may be an Internal Conflict arising because you want to move forward in your life as your authentic self.   However, you keep playing it small and safe.  The Protective Part that keeps you playing small and safe has very good intentions.  This part may have become neurologically wired to play small at a very young age when it was wise to keep your authentic self-hidden.  As an adult this part’s wiring is outdated. We understand that the original good intention no longer creates a good outcome.  Integrating the best practices of IFS and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) allows for a client to resolve Internal Conflicts quicker than traditional therapies, typically lasting three months with flexible follow-ups.  The client learns to be their own healer through a deep and intimate understanding of how their internal world functions.  The client embodies compassionate and courageous Self-leadership.  The IFS and NLP Path can address a wide range of issues: Dominating parts of our personality (people pleaser, perfectionist, anger, avoidance, dissociative, self-sabotager, and more) Activated wounded parts of our psyche from various ages of our life, often called wounded children or trauma response Overcoming phobias and irrational fears Improving confidence and self-image Enhancing communication skills Managing stress and emotional responses Breaking negative habits and patterns Boosting motivation and goal setting
