Deepen Core IFS Skills 

Create internal relationships using the 6 F's. This is a powerful way to begin the 'unblending' phase of IFS, externalize the inner experience, and help clients to better regulate their emotions.

 

Find the part or trailhead in and around your body. Understand where it needs your attention.

 

Focus In. Turn your attention inward, towards the part, sensation, or feeling, etc.  Be open, and curious, and begin to describe what you are noticing. 

​

Flesh out. Learn about the part. Learn to be curious and ask IFS-informed questions. 

​

Feel Towards. How do you feel towards the part, sensation, etc? Watch for Self qualities. Learn how to work with protectors. Different parts often need to feel heard and noticed.

 

Befriend the part by finding out more about it. Build internal cooperation. Indirect: Self to part. Direct: Part to a therapist. Learn more. 

​

Fear Finding. Find what the concerns are. What creates fear for this part that makes it act the way that it does?

“I'm not a mess but a deeply feeling person in a messy world. I explain that now, when someone asks me why I cry so often, I say, 'For the same reason I laugh so often--because I'm paying attention.' I tell them that we can choose to be perfect and admired or to be real and loved. We must decide.”
