Summary of the Internal Family in IFS

1. A Mind Made of Parts

Within your mind resides a council of parts.
They are at the core of understanding your thoughts, feelings, and emotions.


2. There Are No Bad Parts

Every part has a positive intention—even if it feels extreme or destructive.
IFS teaches us to welcome these parts, not remove them.


3. Self Is the Natural Leader

When you are in Self, you embody calm, curiosity, and compassion.
From this place, you can guide your inner world with clarity and care.


Bringing Balance

By seeing, hearing, and feeling our different parts, we can bring balance to our internal world.
