Often, they surprise us with insights we were not aware of before. Each part has its own story and its own function \u2014 and each deserves to be heard.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"910\" data-end=\"913\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"915\" data-end=\"949\"><strong data-start=\"915\" data-end=\"947\">The Self \u2014 Our Inner Essence<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"951\" data-end=\"1161\">At the center of IFS stands the <em data-start=\"983\" data-end=\"989\">Self<\/em> \u2014 our inner essence, unburdened and whole. It is our most powerful resource. From a place of clarity, calm, and compassion, we can meet the different parts of ourselves.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1163\" data-end=\"1405\">Especially the burdened parts \u2014 often childlike aspects that may have been pushed away for a long time \u2014 can be seen, understood, relieved, and integrated in this process. For that reason, IFS is often also a journey toward our inner child.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1407\" data-end=\"1410\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"1412\" data-end=\"1438\"><strong data-start=\"1412\" data-end=\"1436\">The Protective Parts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1440\" data-end=\"1672\">A key aspect of IFS work is understanding our protective parts. They may control, block, avoid, or put us under pressure \u2014 and sometimes they seem like obstacles. Yet they always serve an important purpose: they try to protect us.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1674\" data-end=\"1948\">We don\u2019t want to \u201cget rid of\u201d these parts, but rather understand their original intention. Once their protective role is seen and appreciated, they can take on a new and more supportive place within the system. Accepting them is a central step on the way to inner balance.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1950\" data-end=\"1953\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"1955\" data-end=\"2002\"><strong data-start=\"1955\" data-end=\"2000\">IFS \u2014 A Method of Healing and Integration<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2004\" data-end=\"2194\">IFS offers a mindful and respectful way to access repressed feelings and memories, and to work with them constructively. The process is profound, but always guided by the pace of the Self.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2196\" data-end=\"2199\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"2201\" data-end=\"2251\"><strong data-start=\"2201\" data-end=\"2249\">Supplement: The Inner Team (Schulz von Thun)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2253\" data-end=\"2495\">Depending on your needs, I sometimes integrate the <em data-start=\"2304\" data-end=\"2316\">Inner Team<\/em> model developed by Friedemann Schulz von Thun.
