Dr. Sue Johnson’s work was primarily about creating connection in close relationships. She believed that emotion has a deep logic to it, and that we can learn to use it as a compass to guide our steps as we move with others through life. Backed by years of research, Dr. Johnson and her team dedicated themselves to helping everyone learn about the revolutionary science of attachment and bonding. Growing emotionally and finding attachment at the heart of our humanity was an inspiring pursuit for her.

IFS is a transformative tool that conceives of every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts led by a core Self. We believe the mind is naturally multiple and that is a good thing. Just like members of a family, inner parts are forced from their valuable states into extreme roles within us. Self is in everyone. It can’t be damaged. It knows how to heal.
