IFIO therapy is for couples who find that their bond has broken and who wish to repair it. Rupture can happen for a number of reasons, including infidelity, addiction or a failure to communicate effectively. IFIO will first focus on the individuals within the couple, before developing relational techniques between them.
Drawing primarily on the Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach, IFIO uses meditational techniques to access different parts of both the individual and the relationship. It treats the relationship as a vehicle for growth and healing as well as a unique entity in which many aspects of ourselves have a role to play.
Your IFIO therapist will guide each member of the relationship to develop a self compassionate and secure relationship with themselves. This is the foundation from which you will be asked to explore how you relate to your partner and what your partner may need from you.
