IFS: What If Every Part of You Had a Voice?
If you’ve spent any time on “therapy TikTok” or similar platforms, you’ve likely encountered the concept of “inner child work.” Through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS)—a therapeutic approach that, despite the word “family” in its name, focuses on individual healing—we can learn to befriend all of our internal parts, including our inner child. IFS is gaining popularity for its compassionate, non-pathologizing approach and is used to address a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles.
