Many people have internal conflicts holding them back from where they want to be in life. You don’t have to suffer in silence because compassionate and professional help is available. Dr. Tiffany Brown-Bush is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor providing Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy in Cornelius and online in North Carolina. You can seek integrative, non-medicative therapy with her for several mental or emotional issues that you or your family need help with.
What Is Internal Family Systems Therapy?
IFS is a form of psychotherapy that treats the mind as a group of “parts” or sub-personalities. Each one is defined by the role they play in how we respond to painful experiences. Three main parts are the managers, firefighters, and exiles. Your exiles may be hidden deep in your mind to prevent traumatic memories they hold from hurting you. The manager parts of the brain try to maintain order by keeping the exiles repressed. Sometimes, those managers fail, which is when the firefighters come in and push us toward coping mechanisms that may not always be helpful in the long-term. By identifying these internal parts of your mental family, you can integrate them into your core self.
Why Should I Get IFS Therapy?
When you work with Dr. Brown-Bush, she will help you maintain wellness through a framing of how the brain, body, and mind all work together. Dr. Brown-Bush can use IFS therapy in Cornelius, NC, for people dealing with internal conflicts. You may have unhealed trauma, but your therapist can help you access hidden exiles that hold painful memories and release the feelings associated with them. If you have mental conditions like PTSD, anxiety, or depression, this therapy will tap into your mind to get to the source of your triggers.
By working with all the parts of the mind and body, you can make lasting changes and improve unhealthy behaviors. IFS is a non-judgmental approach to confronting different parts of your personality and mind without automatically assuming these aspects are bad. You can heal trauma in a gentle way that suits you and won't traumatize you further. As a result, you can experience more peace and balance for overall well-being.
