Group Therapy: Internal Family Systems and Trauma 0.3

Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) is a psychological therapy method aimed at enhancing individual psychological health and improving interpersonal relationships by exploring the dynamics of the personal internal system. It is a branch of family systems therapy that focuses on the interactions and relationships among internal family members within an individual. At the core of the therapy is the understanding that individuals have various internal parts or sub-personalities, which represent different family members within oneself. These internal parts can include the child self, the adult self, the parental self, and others, and they interact and influence each other.

Engaging in dialogue and communication with these internal parts helps individuals better understand their inner conflicts, needs, and motivations. By fostering cooperation and understanding among internal parts, individuals can promote internal harmony and integration, thereby enhancing psychological health and functioning. This therapy aids individuals in strengthening self-awareness, emotional regulation skills, and interpersonal relationship abilities, facilitating a balance and harmony both internally and externally.
