Internal Family Systems (IFS), developed by Richard Schwartz, views the mind as composed of various sub-personalities or "parts," each with its own emotions, desires, and roles. These parts often arise in response to life experiences and can sometimes be in conflict, leading to inner turmoil.

IFS coaching helps clients connect with their "Self," a core state of compassion, curiosity, and calmness, which can then engage with these parts to foster healing and promote healthier internal conversations. Clients can achieve greater emotional balance and clarity by acknowledging and understanding these internal dynamics.

IFS is an excellent complement to psychedelic therapy, as the expanded states of consciousness facilitated by psychedelics can make it easier for individuals to access and work with these internal parts, enhancing the healing process.
