Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS) at Freelife BH: A Transformative Approach for All
At Freelife BH, we embrace Internal Family Systems (IFS) as a powerful tool for healing and self-discovery. IFS views every person—straight, LGBQIA+, and beyond—as a system of protective and wounded inner parts, all led by a core Self. We believe that the mind’s natural multiplicity is a strength, not a flaw. Just like members of a family, inner parts can be pushed into extreme roles, yet at the center, the Self remains whole, unbreakable, and fully capable of healing.
At Freelife BH, we are committed to expanding access to IFS with inclusive educational programs designed for therapists, the broader public, and professionals across multiple fields. No matter who you are or where you’re coming from, you belong here—and your journey toward healing starts with you.
Many people turn to therapy to understand their inner world, heal emotional wounds, and create a more balanced, fulfilling life. Through an IFS approach, we explore the different parts of you—each with its own thoughts, feelings, and roles—helping you reconnect with your core Self.
Common reasons people seek IFS therapy include:
Feeling stuck or overwhelmed: Parts of you may carry stress, fear, or uncertainty, making it hard to move forward.
Inner criticism and self-doubt: Harsh inner voices can keep you feeling small or unworthy. We work to unburden these parts and foster self-compassion.
Relationship challenges: Healing wounded parts can lead to deeper connections and healthier boundaries with others.
Emotional distress and trauma: We gently uncover and support the parts of you carrying anxiety, depression, or past pain.
Personal growth and self-discovery: Connecting with your authentic Self brings clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Whatever you’re facing, IFS therapy offers a path to healing by honoring all parts of you. We're here to guide you toward greater self-awareness, harmony, and inner peace.
