Counseling from an Internal Family Systems (IFS) and psychodynamic perspective involves exploring the internal dynamics of the self to understand and heal unconscious patterns, parts, and emotional wounds. In IFS, the individual is seen as having a core Self, surrounded by different parts—protective roles like managers, firefighters, and exiles—that shape behavior and emotional responses. The therapist’s role is to help the client access and strengthen their Self, allowing them to integrate these parts, heal unresolved emotional burdens, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Psychodynamically, the therapist also helps uncover unconscious patterns linked to past experiences and relational dynamics, particularly those formed in childhood. Together, these approaches foster self-awareness, emotional healing, and personal growth, aiming for a more harmonious internal system and a more authentic, balanced way of relating to oneself and others.
