IFS Capacities

by Jay Earley

FS capacities are those that are needed for the IFS process to move forward effectively. Self doesn’t always manifest in the same way, with the same capacity. At any given moment, you can learn to recognize which IFS capacities are present and which ones you might need for the current step of the IFS process to work. If you are lacking an IFS Capacity, you can access it or cultivate it.

We have identified the following IFS Capacities:

Internal Personhood
Respect for Parts
Curiosity (Attunement)
Awareness
Agency
Caring (Compassion)
Inner Support
Strength (Courage)
Insight
Focus
Flow
