Many of us are repeatedly struck by commonly shared observations about IFS: that it provides a non-pathologizing clinical intervention, an accelerated path to emotional healing and, a model of self-awareness. IFS has also been known for supporting access to a calmer state of being, and increasing awareness and compassion toward others. IFS invigorates our practice and empowers our clients. It promises deeper positive change inside ourselves and in our world. This is why the Foundation sees it as our purpose to help bring IFS to the world.
Together with you, the Foundation plans to support independent IFS-oriented research, help promote IFS both within and beyond psychotherapy, and increase access to IFS trainings through scholarships. [read more…] |

Nor is it a venue for sending information out; it is envisioned more so as an attempt to generate discussions within the community around issues and ideas of general interest and great impact.
