The anger, the grief, the rage, the disbelief, the despair you feel as you look out into the world and see what is happening. It does not need medication and self-regulation techniques. It needs standing up, speaking up, community, loud words, loud cries, connection, feeling, action! #IFS #SkyIFS

When we allow ourselves to look away in the face of injustice and cruelty, we need to look inside, because it means we have become shut off to ourselves, to our hearts and to our own humanity. #IFS #SkyIFS

I have written an article about working with grief in IFS Therapy. This article helps understand grief a state rather than simply an experience of individual parts, how to meet the system as it is, in this state, and how attachment and loss is deeply connected. medium.com/@annavincent...

Understanding the state of grief in IFS therapy

In general you can see fear as telling you that something needs attention on the outside (often in the here and now), whereas anxiety shows you what needs attention on the inside, but most often in relation to the outside (past, present or to some degree future). #IFS #SkyIFS

Deep inside of you there is a story longing to be heard. When we move towards it, slowly, carefully, respectfully, it will unfold like a flower in bloom; painful, beautiful and vulnerable. When we listen, truly listen, we begin to heal. #IFS #SkyIFS

That person you look up to, admire and respect, she's a mirror Look inside. See what you find. You might just be surprised at what gifts your parts carry. #SkyIFS #IFS

You repeat what is unhealed, not just of your own pain, but the pain of your ancestors and the pain of the world.

No, shame is not pleasant, but it's also not something to get rid of - it's something to be with and something that will show you the way to the pain that needs your loving attention. #SkyIFS #IFS

Other people can change But you cannot change other people Parts can change But you cannot change your parts You can listen You can witness You can welcome You can trust the process #IFS #SkyIFS

What people don't realise is that what we're all talking about underneath the words, the complaints, the pain, the conflicts, the symptoms, is attachment, relationship, connection; a felt sense of safety and belonging in the world. The rest is just detours. #SkyIFS #IFS #attachment

IFS Therapist Anna Vincentz @annavincentz.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

Only when our parts begin to see, trust and know that there is another way, can they take off their masks and become who they were meant to be. Only then will the fight cease. Inside and out. #SkyIFS #IFS

What if there is actually nothing wrong with you and your reactions make sense based on your experience? #SkyIFS #IFS

IFS Therapist Anna Vincentz @annavincentz.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

Sometimes it's not reaching out, but reaching in that matters. #IFS #SkyIFS

IFS Therapist Anna Vincentz @annavincentz.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

It's not either-or. It's self-regulation and co-regulation. When parts can lean into Self, you can lean out from a different space. #IFS #SkyIFS

Every time you look at me. My heart cracks open. And I must spend a week or two. Sewing it back up. #poetry

IFS Therapist Anna Vincentz @annavincentz.bsky.social · 09/03/2025

You don't want to be less sensitive, you want to be more regulated. There's quite a difference. #SkyIFS #HSP

Seeing our children suffer is one of the hardest things a parent has to do. But children will not always be happy and life is not always easy. What really matters is that we can be with them when they are in pain. That we do not leave. #consciousparenting #parentingfromtheinside

That thing you're fighting for out there in the world, see if you can focus it inwards as well. #IFS #SkyIFS

IFS Therapist Anna Vincentz @annavincentz.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

Being Self-led does not mean not having an opinion, being neutral in conflicts, not setting boundaries. #IFS #SkyIFS

IFS Therapist Anna Vincentz @annavincentz.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

This is more easy to see when it's small roadblocks. The bigger ones are harder to see as having any positive outcomes. At those times, creating even a small space in which to connect inwards; to feel what truly matters, is the first step towards finding you footing and reconnecting with yourself.

IFS Therapist Anna Vincentz @annavincentz.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

Bypassing the ego will, for many inner systems, mean to abandon the parts of you that long for healing and connection. Remember that it's Self and Parts, not just Self. The AND - The connection - is actually what matters most. #IFS #skyIFS #IFStherapy

IFS Therapist Anna Vincentz @annavincentz.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

Learn to listen. Get curious from your heart and soul. Your parts are so wise, so in need of your connection and so alone. Create the space for yourself to slow down and to listen inwards. It may just change your life. #IFStherapy #SkyIFS #IFS

062

IFS Therapist Anna Vincentz @annavincentz.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

When we begin to feel hate, we must consciously choose curiosity. Inside and out. It is not easy. It is not going to be fun. But it is necessary.

That part of you that thinks she's not good enough, not smart enough, not pretty enough. Send her some love today. #IFS #SkyIFS

IFS Therapist Anna Vincentz @annavincentz.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

It's never too late to say I love you, to apologize, to grieve, to reach out, to speak for your parts, to heal the pain of the past, to connect to your ancestors, to reconnect with yourSELF

IFS Therapist Anna Vincentz @annavincentz.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

Grief is the connection that never dies. Don't get over the losses of your loved ones. Grief keeps you connected. You're not supposed to get over it, but be in relation to it and let it transform with you.
