IFS is a trauma-informed, non-pathologizing, and evidence-based therapeutic modality that sees all people as containing different parts within. Each part contains an intelligence and a role within us. IFS is rooted in the belief that at the core of every being is a wise and compassionate Self. The journey to discovering this core part often uncovers younger vulnerable ages of us, deep traumas, and protectors that had to step in to keep us surviving. Protectors (exiles/firefighters) often show up as nervous system dysregulation and insecure attachment. This is where I weave in my training in Somatic Therapy and Attachment Theory. 
 
When we can learn to tap into our Core Self, we can then bring healing to other parts of oursevles that are needing safety and understanding. All to create a more wholesome and integrated environment within.
