WHAT ARE “IFS CONSTELLATIONS”?
IFS Constellations are a new form of embodied IFS that enable us to safely explore and heal the past and its effects on us.
Devised by Ruth Culver, IFS Constellations develop self-compassion, inner calm and deep connection to ourselves and others. They facilitate the dual-awareness that enables stored trauma to be processed through a felt sense of safety in the present, and thus re-wire the brain for healing. Ultimately this remarkable mind-body process allows us to develop healthier boundaries, greater autonomy and better relationships with ourselves and others.
This unique process brings together:
- understanding our internal system of parts and compassionate inner dialogue (IFS)
- experiencing our internal system of parts through a somatic enquiry process (Constellations)
- how our parts interact with our nervous system (Polyvagal Theory)
- Adverse Childhood Experiences create protective ‘parts’ within us. These parts employ strategies like perfectionism, hyper-vigilance, dissociation, people-pleasing, depression, addictions, self-criticism or physical symptoms in an attempt to protect us from the painful emotions created by childhood experiences.
- IFS (Internal Family Systems) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that works with these internal parts. Devised in the 1980s by Richard Schwartz, IFS has been hailed by international experts including Bessel van der Kolk and Gabor Maté as “the most effective psychotherapy for developmental trauma”.
- Constellations is a highly-effective process that brings information held in the body into conscious awareness. (The dictionary defines constellation is ‘a collection of parts’ i.e. not necessarily stars.) Whereas the original Family Constellations devised by Bert Hellinger explored external family relationships (eg with parents), IFS Constellations explore our INTERNAL parts.
Whether you bring a specific challenge to explore, or simply wish to know yourself more deeply, you are very welcome.
