Parts Work in Therapy Overview

Parts Work Therapy, particularly Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), helps clients understand their inner conflicts by viewing the mind as a system of distinct "parts" that often have unique roles. Clients can work on identifying, exploring, and getting to know these parts, which often carry past traumas or burdens. The goal is to reduce internal conflict and access the core "Self" - a source of wisdom, compassion, and calm—to help each part heal and foster internal harmony. By identifying the good intentions of even problematic parts and healing traumatic wounds they carry, this approach promotes internal harmony, emotional regulation, and a more integrated sense of self and identity.

Parts Work Therapy is effective for a wide range of issues, including those related to perfectionism, people-pleasing, trauma, addiction, anxiety, attachment, and low self-esteem. This modality really aims to address the roots of issues with the support of a therapist by mapping out different parts and why they show up, such as a strong inner critic. Parts work also allows for creativity in the therapy experience and it pairs well with other modalities.
