What Is IFS Supervision and Why It Matters for Therapists
As more therapists integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) into their practice, many are searching for the right support to grow their skills and confidence. One of the most important steps in this journey is finding the right IFS Supervision. Whether you’re seeking certification through the IFS Institute or simply want professional guidance, supervision offers a safe, collaborative space to deepen your work.
What Is IFS Supervision?
IFS Supervision is a professional, trauma-informed process where an IFS Approved Consultant supports therapists in their clinical work. Some of the central themes of supervision include
Explore your own parts that may be activated in sessions
Learn nuanced techniques that help work with specific inner systems.
Practice specific IFS skills that help grow your confidence in the model
Work towards IFS Certification
IFS Supervision can be a great container to help you grow as a clinician and have an outlet as a therapist.
What Are the Benefits of IFS Supervision?
Whether you’re a therapist just beginning to explore Internal Family Systems (IFS) or working toward completing your Level 1 IFS Training, IFS supervision can be a valuable resource.
IFS supervision provides a safe, supportive space to explore your own internal system’s reactions to clients while also helping you strengthen your therapeutic skills.
One of the greatest benefits of IFS supervision is that it combines personal growth, getting to know your own parts, with professional development, offering teaching moments on how to effectively use and integrate the IFS model with clients.
Why Therapists Should Consider IFS Supervision
Therapists working in agency work or private practice can be isolating, especially after doing hours of therapy. You often hold the experiences of others while simultaneously having questions about decisions you may or not have made as a clinician. IFS Supervision allows a place for therapists experiences and questions to be held in a supportive learning environment.
IFS Supervision can help with therapist burnout, knowledge in the IFS model, case consultation, and accessing your confidence in becoming a better clinician.
