Let's break it down -
What is Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a powerful, evidence-based model of psychotherapy that helps you explore and understand the different “parts” of yourself. Instead of pathologizing inner conflict, IFS views each part—whether it’s protective, reactive, or wounded—as carrying a valuable role and story.
Imagine your inner world as a dinner table. Each seat is taken by a different “part” of you: the People-Pleaser, the Angry Protector, the Achiever, the Anxious One, the Inner Teen. These parts developed over time—often in response to pain, trauma, or survival—and each one believes it’s doing its job to keep you safe. Some are loud. Some are exiled and quiet. But all of them have a story.
IFS helps you meet these parts with curiosity, not shame. Instead of trying to push away parts that feel overwhelming, we get to know them. Why are they showing up? What do they need? And how can we let your core Self—the calm, compassionate seat at the head of the table—take the lead?
How IFS Can Help You at Boundless NY & MA
IFS is powerful for people who feel like they’re constantly at war with themselves. You might say things like:
-
“A part of me wants to rest, but another part won’t let me.”
-
“I keep sabotaging myself and I don’t know why.”
-
“I hate how I feel, but I can’t make it stop.”
Through IFS, you’ll begin to:
-
Unblend from reactive or overwhelming emotions
-
Heal the wounded parts that carry past trauma
-
Shift out of survival mode and into self-led living
-
Make decisions from clarity, not chaos
IFS is especially supportive for trauma survivors, perfectionists, high achievers, people navigating identity questions, and those longing for more internal peace.
What IFS Looks Like at Boundless
NY & MA
IFS at Boundless is collaborative, curious, and culturally responsive. We’re not here to pathologize you. We’re here to explore with you.
Our therapists might gently ask, “Can we check in with the part of you that feels anxious right now?” or “What do you notice in your body when that critical voice shows up?” Over time, you’ll learn to recognize your parts, soothe your nervous system, and build internal trust.
We often integrate IFS with other modalities—like EMDR, somatic awareness, or ACT—to meet your unique needs. And because we serve a deeply diverse community, we honor how your cultural, familial, and spiritual context shapes your parts.
