Queer and Trans Internal Family Systems
All genders. All sexualities. All parts welcome.
Queer and Trans Internal Family Systems is a project that aims to make IFS accessible to queer and trans practitioners and the communities we serve. We provide courses and workshops that offer an affirming, intersectional, and anti-oppression framework for applying the IFS model. We believe that IFS has enormous potential to facilitate healing and connection, allowing us to reclaim the magic and joy of who we are.
