I felt that this being our first session that we really should use IFS model questions:
1. FIND
● Who needs your attention today?
● What do you want to explore today?
● Which part do you want to explore today?
● Where do you notice it?
● Where do you feel it in or around your body?
2. FOCUS
● Can you turn towards that part?
● What is it like?
● How are you aware of it?
3. FLESH OUT
● Can you deepen your access to the part?
● Are you aware of it in other ways?
● How close are you to it?
● Can you ask it to give you some space?
● What is its role?
Got these questions from:
I was skeptical using IFS as a modality. The video we watched in class was more an exorcism to me rather than therapy. However, I found it really good while talking to Riley especially being able to identify her lack of managers, “coping” tools to help her feel more grounded and on top of her very busy life. I am excited to try this exercise again.
