IFS: Internal Family Systems and TIST: Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment
Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST) are therapeutic models that focus on healing through understanding internal parts of the self. IFS, developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, views the mind as made up of different "parts," each with its own role, and aims to restore balance by helping the Self lead with compassion. TIST, created by Janina Fisher, integrates parts work with a trauma-informed lens, emphasizing safety, stabilization, and reducing self-destructive behaviors. Both approaches help clients understand and heal fragmented inner experiences caused by trauma. By fostering inner connection and compassion, IFS and TIST support deep, lasting emotional recovery.
