JOURNAL PROMPTS USING IFS (INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS)

This worksheet uses the Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach to explore your relationship with your mother:

1. IFS views the mind as containing different “parts” of your personality.
2. Each part has positive intentions, even if not always helpful.
3. Your “Self” is your core, compassionate essence.
4. In the prompts, you’ll:
   • Identify parts activated by your mother
   • Explore each part’s feelings and needs
   • Access your Self to offer compassion to these parts
5. Approach all parts with curiosity and compassion.

This process helps you understand your internal responses, fostering self-compassion and potential healing.
