Internal Family Systems (IFS-Informed) Parts Work

Every part of you deserves a voice, not a battle.

Internal Family Systems informed therapy helps you understand the inner world you carry — the protectors, the exiles, the critics, the caretakers, the younger selves, the versions of you who learned to survive.

At NeuroBloom, parts work is tender, trauma informed and deeply human.
Your inner parts are not broken. They are trying to keep you alive.
We help you build a relationship with them rooted in curiosity, compassion and safety.

IFS isn’t about “fixing.”
It is about welcoming yourself home.

Your inner world is a landscape. We help you learn its language.

IFS teaches that you do not have one “self.”
You have many parts that formed to protect you.
Some hold pain. Some hold fear. Some hold anger. Some hold wisdom.

And beneath all of them is your core self — calm, compassionate and capable.

At NeuroBloom, we use IFS informed therapy to help you:

  • Identify your protective parts

  • Understand their fears and roles

  • Meet the younger parts they protect

  • Build trust between parts of your system

  • Create internal harmony instead of internal war

  • Develop a deeper, gentler relationship with yourself

IFS helps you move from reacting to understanding. From fragmentation to wholeness.

How We Practice IFS at NeuroBloom:

Traditional parts work can feel abstract or too emotional too quickly.
We make IFS informed therapy grounded, embodied and culturally contextual.

Here is how we practice parts work in a way that actually supports healing.

1. Trauma Informed Parts Work

Your parts were created by trauma and survival.
We approach them with gentleness, pacing and body awareness.

We integrate:

  • Somatic grounding

  • Polyvagal regulation

  • Attachment focused interventions

  • Emotional pacing

  • Safety building before exploration

  • Slow, compassionate connection with younger parts

We never push you to “go inside” before your system is ready.

2. Culturally Responsive IFS

Your parts developed in the context of:

  • Immigrant households

  • Generational trauma

  • Community expectations

  • Gender roles

  • Racialized stress

  • Religion, spirituality or purity culture

  • Family survival narratives

We honor the cultural and historical roots of your protective strategies.

IFS becomes a pathway for healing cultural wounds and reclaiming identity.

3. Neurodivergent Affirming IFS

Parts work is powerful for ADHD and autistic clients whose internal worlds are vivid, fast or intense.

We offer:

  • Clear step by step internal mapping

  • Visuals and analogies

  • Sensory based grounding

  • ADHD friendly emotional pacing

  • Permission for nonlinear processing

  • No pressure to sit still or “go slow” if your mind is fast

We adapt IFS to your brain instead of forcing your brain into IFS.

4. Somatic IFS

Thoughts and memories live in the body.
We integrate:

  • Interoception building

  • Breath and movement

  • Body based connection with parts

  • Nervous system tracking

  • Vagus nerve tools

  • Sensory grounding

Somatic parts work helps you heal not just emotionally but physiologically.

5. Strengths Based Parts Work

Your parts carry:

  • Resilience

  • Creativity

  • Wisdom

  • Cultural knowledge

  • Survival intelligence

  • Courage

IFS helps you build gratitude for the versions of yourself that kept you alive.

Those parts are not your enemies.
They are your protectors.
