About It's Complicated

In 2019, two therapists set out to tackle a complicated problem.

The psychiatrist Carl Jung once wrote that, “Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble”. One does not have to be a therapist, though, to realize that life is complicated. But finding the right therapist, who you can build a strong relationship with, shouldn’t have to be. This is the founding principle of It’s Complicated.Since our start, we've helped over 23,000 clients and counting, offering thousands of free crisis support hours, and built thriving therapy communities in Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Munich, and Athens.

Internal Family Systems therapy and its applications

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a psychotherapeutic approach that views an individual as a system of multiple "parts" or subpersonalities, each with its own unique qualities, emotions, and experiences. IFS therapy is facilitated by trained professionals who guide individuals through a process of understanding and harmonising their internal system. At It's Complicated, our team of therapists specialises in delivering IFS therapy to clients struggling with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and interpersonal conflict. Through compassionate exploration and dialogue, we help clients identify and understand their internal parts, fostering communication and cooperation between them.

 

How Internal Family Systems therapy works

In IFS therapy, the therapist acts as a facilitator, helping the client access and explore their internal parts. Through guided meditation and visualisation exercises, clients learn to identify and differentiate between various parts, each with its own thoughts, feelings, and motivations. The therapist promotes self-leadership and self-compassion, empowering clients to establish a relationship of trust and cooperation with their internal system. As clients gain insight and understanding into their internal dynamics, they develop strategies for resolving conflicts and meeting their needs in more adaptive ways.

 

Is Internal Family Systems therapy right for you?

IFS therapy offers a compassionate and empowering approach to understanding and integrating internal parts, leading to reduced symptoms and enhanced well-being. Whether struggling with inner conflicts, self-criticism, or difficulty regulating emotions, IFS provides a framework for healing and personal growth. If you're seeking to foster growth and overcome obstacles to living a fulfilling life, IFS therapy may offer valuable insights. Connect with a skilled therapist from the It's Complicated community to explore how IFS therapy can help you now.
