The IFS Technique
Step 1: Identifying the Diagnoses & Symptoms
Assess the diagnoses: PTSD, anxiety, depression, substance abuse and eating disorders
Apply meditation practices
Finding the symptom
Focusing on its fear
Separating the person (self) from the symptom

Step 2: Gain Access to Internal Strengths & Resources for Healing
Moving from defensiveness to curiosity
Access compassion to open the pathways toward healing
Foster “internal attachment” work
The “Self” of the therapist-countertransference redefined
Step 3: Heal the Traumatic Wound
Three phases to healing the wound:
Witness the pain
Remove the wounded part out of the past
Go of the feelings, thoughts and beliefs
Memory reconsolidation & neuroscience
Integrate IFS into Your Treatment Approach
