Episode 9 - What is Internal Family Systems (IFS) Model? With Melissa Pyne
Melissa Pyne joins us to talk about Internal Family Systems Model (IFS)! Melissa is a social worker, practice owner of Inner Trailheads Counselling, and specializes in IFS. This threapy modality has been around for over 30 years, but lately, has been gaining popularity - most recently in the media, as seen in Inside Out 1 and 2.
IFS belives that we are all made up of different parts/sub-personalities which together create an internal family. In this episode, Melissa shares what IFS is, how it can be helpful in accepting our whole selves and being compassionate to ourselves. We talk about how the language of IFS can be a gentler way to approach and understanding our behaviour, emotions and reactions.
We also noticed some of our own parts show up in this discussion! Hope you enjoy this episode!
