Are you interested in exploring a different kind of therapy? Have you found traditional ‘talk therapy’ to be lacking? Created by Richard Schwartz, IFS is a gentle and effective way to facilitate emotional growth. This step-by-step approach facilitates change by increasing your capacity for mindfulness and self-compassion. Healing in IFS therapy comes from learning to befriend, understand and unburden the protective and wounded parts of yourself.
Do you find yourself getting stuck in repetitive conflicts or fights? Are you struggling to get important needs met in relationship? IFIO created by Toni Herbine-Blank is a gentle and effective approach to strengthening intimate relationships that focuses on helping you stay connected to yourself while deepening your bond to loved ones.
It’s normal and human to respond to conflict with defensiveness and reactivity. This tendency toward self-protection is wired in from birth and while helpful for survival it can hinder our ability to work together to solve problems or negotiate needs. Through befriending and understanding the protective parts of ourselves we can unlock our capacity to respond to interpersonal conflict with greater ease, flexibility and competence.
