How do I start IFS?
But before we can begin the work of healing trauma with IFS, we have to first begin by unblending our client’s various parts. We do this by walking our client’s through the 6Fs: Find, Focus, Flesh it out, Feel, beFriend and Fear.
How long does IFS therapy take to work?
It generally takes 2 to 3 sessions to get an understanding of your parts and their roles but relief from symptoms can start quickly, often in just one session. IFS can be integrated with other forms of psychotherapy and is often used in conjunction with EMDR therapy.
