Understanding Your Inner World: Internal Family Systems Theory Explained

One goal is helping parts communicate and not overwhelm each other is essential ~ Another goal is helping the Self get back into a position in which it can listen and discern feedback from the parts to determine the best course of action
Ever feel like there are different voices in your head, each pulling you in a different direction? In this episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast', Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes unpacks Internal Family Systems (IFS) Theory to help you make sense of those inner dialogues. According to IFS, we all have multiple parts within us—like a Self, an exile, a firefighter, and a manager—each with its own role in our survival and emotional well-being. Dr.
Snipes breaks down how these parts can either harmonize or clash, impacting your mental health. She explains how the goal is to help these parts communicate effectively and not overwhelm each other. By fostering better internal communication, you can bring your Self back to a place where it can make balanced decisions. This episode is packed with practical advice on working with these internal parts, from building direct relationships with them to grieving and integrating exiled parts.
Whether you're a therapist looking to apply IFS in your practice or someone curious about understanding your own mind better, this episode offers valuable insights into achieving emotional balance.
