Reply to comment by IggyBG in Hi, I'm Lucille Aaron-Wayne, MA - Certified IFS therapist (Internal Family Systems therapy). Ask me anything! by LucilleAaronWayne

Hehe u/IggyBG this question makes me smile.

Yes, the "EFS" is one's actual family.

The person who founded IFS, Richard C. Schwartz, began as a family therapist. This means he conceptualized of psychology in terms of systems - multiple actors who all affect each other. This equipped him to understand and pioneer a new way of working with the individual: essentially, by applying family therapy to one's own inner world.

And that's IFS 😃
