The Mini Unblend in Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy: A Simple Way to Come Back to Yourself

Sometimes your inner world very, very crowded. Maybe you’re in a moment of anger, self-criticism, craving, replaying a conversation, worrying about tomorrow, and trying to work out what to do next. Like dominoes, one thought leads to another, and one feeling activates another. Before long, your whole system of parts can feel like it is in chaos.

This is a familiar experience in Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy. In IFS, we understand these experiences as times when parts have become blended with us.
