This blog post introduces the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model by explaining that our minds are like families with different "parts" that can sometimes have conflicting goals. Using the example of "Alex" and his "Manager" part (worried about pornography impacting relationships) and "Firefighter" part (using pornography to cope with a need for love and belonging), the post guides readers through a simple imagery exercise to connect with their own conflicting parts and then provides questions to explore the fears, intentions, and potential for collaboration between these inner "Worrier" and "Protector" aspects, ultimately suggesting that understanding these parts can lead to greater inner peace.
