IFS is a type of psychotherapy that believes we are all made up of several parts or sub-personalities. We all have several parts living within us that fulfill both healthy and unhealthy roles. Life events or trauma, however, can force us out of those healthy roles into extreme roles. The goal of IFS therapy is to find your Self and bring all of these parts together. IFS can help with general life stressors, but also treats anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and mood disorders.
Mindfulness-based therapies use meditation, relaxation, and awareness exercises to help focus on the present moment, aiming over time to experience day to day situations and stressors in nonjudgmental and non-reactionary ways. This approach is a helpful counter for anxiety, which tends to leave us ruminating on past concerns or future worries. Mindfulness practice helps you to see more clearly the patterns of the mind and how to learn to recognize and interrupt negative moods.
