What is IFS-Informed EMDR Therapy?

IFS or Internal Family Systems therapy is an evidence-based therapy that helps people understand and heal their inner parts, or sub-personalities, to restore inner balance and harmony, and to improve their relationships and overall well-being.

IFS-Informed EMDR therapy combines the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help people heal from trauma and other distressing experiences.
