Guest post by ADHD therapist Lacey Redding: Learn how trauma-informed ADHD therapy using IFS and DBT helps adults balance internal parts, manage emotions, and improve executive function.

When someone triggers us, our attention usually stays on them: what they did and how they made us feel. But in IFS, we can learn to pause and do a U-turn, turning our attention inward instead. This post walks you through six simple steps to connect with your parts, understand their reactions, and respond with more clarity and compassion.

Autism isn’t a part, it’s your wiring. This blog post highlights some of the ways in which IFS therapy can be such a good fit for autistic individuals – offering a flexible, non-pathologising approach that works with your system instead of against it.

This article explores the key parts discussed in Internal Family Systems (IFS) – Managers, Firefighters, and Exiles – and provides real-life examples of how these parts might manifest. It also introduces the concept of the Self, the core essence of who we are, which serves as a compassionate and guiding presence distinct from our parts.

In this article, I explore the emerging field of Psycho-Neuroimmunology (PNI) and how it helps us understand the connections between emotional stress, immune function, and physical health. Drawing on recent studies, I discuss how therapies like mindfulness and Internal Family Systems (IFS) can support immune resilience by reducing inflammation and fostering emotional well-being.
