ternal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based psychological therapy that Jodie used with her clients in private practice and has also been instrumental in her own healing.

It’s both a healing modality and a model of self-understanding and it sits at the heart of Jodie’s books.

IFS reveals how we are inherently diverse and multi-dimensional. We are not one singular personality. Instead, we are made up of many parts within us that are playing very important roles - they are either trying to protect us or they are holding onto hurt.

IFS also reminds us of our true essence - who we are at our heart. At our core, we have Self or Self energy, which contains all the qualities we need to care for our parts, navigate challenges and heal from past hurts.

That’s why IFS is the framework through which Jodie lives her life and why it features in her fiction writing.

Here’s an article about IFS that Jodie wrote for her newsletter subscribers.
