We’re excited to introduce you to Friend of the Collective Peter Legård Nielsen. As an IFS therapist, he helps clients get in direct contact with their sub-personalities and free them from incorrect notions, burdens, burdensome emotions, and misplaced roles. Often, these sub-personalities have completely different perceptions of past events than the clients do, leading to the resolution of apparently insoluble mental conflicts in particularly surprising ways through the body.

The Self serves as a guiding light, able to communicate with parts from a place of acceptance and compassion, which facilitates healing among burdened or challenging parts. And, it exists in everyone. In contrast to CBT’s focus on challenging and replacing distorted thoughts, IFS focuses on fostering a depth of understanding that comes from the core of the person—their Self.

Meet Shelly, an LMHC from Des Moines, Iowa, and our next IFS-TC Friend of the month! Shelly runs Compassionate Hearts Therapy, where she passionately uses the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model with her clients, specializing in areas like depression, anxiety, addiction, and trauma. Introduced to IFS during graduate school in Chicago, she fell in love with the model's elegant approach to unpacking feelings.
