All Parts are Welcome
We all bring many perspectives into our every-day interactions.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a model that holds space for times in which we have varying - sometimes even conflicting - opinions of a single complex situation.
IFS holds that while we may experience confusing internal conversations, we are ultimately learning to choose which of these perspectives our most effective (Wise Mind) Self would prefer to act on in pursuit of our goals toward a Life Worth Living.
Example: Part of us might feel motivated to learn all the nuances of how we can be more effective, and another part might feel overwhelmed by the idea of how much work that might entail.
Both parts in this scenario are valid, and both are helping us to balance our needs, wants, and hopes.
