In this simple set of illustrations, I show how, according to internal family systems therapy (IFS)  it’s normal to have parts of self. IFS was developed by Richard C. Schwartz, a family therapist who began adopting the family systems model of family therapy for individual work.

Internal Family Systems Therapy is a therapeutic approach that views the human psyche as a complex system. In IFS, these parts are categorized into three main groups: Managers, Exiles, and Firefighters. 

Suggested Uses: Mental health professionals may find this tool especially helpful for clients if they use a therapeutic approach grounded in IFS.
