About the IFP Institute
People around the globe have found freedom from childhood pain thanks to Integrated Feeling Process (IFP.) The goal of the IFP Institute is to publicize IFP and train therapists in the modality, bring healing and personal growth to even more people.
The members of the IFP Institute bring with them countless decades of therapeutic experience. Through their own practices, they have seen the life-changing impact that the IFP modality has had on their client’s lives.
The IFP methodology is applicable to all areas of psychotherapy, regardless of a patient’s nationality, religious or cultural background. The approach works within an individual’s life experience, letting them craft their own therapeutic journey.
How was IFP developed?
IPF allows individuals a unique level of self-development by combining a number of behavioral health modalities for maximum effect.
While many therapeutic methodologies maintain that only their modality will see lasting success, IFP applies successful aspects from a number of methodologies to create a framework for emotional health.
The development of IFP was heavily influenced by regression/ inner child approaches that treat psychological and emotional distress by entering and reexperiencing long-repressed childhood pain. This includes couple counseling based on understanding how childhood pain plays out in current relationships. By working together a couple can use their relationship to help heal past suffering.
IFP recognizes the importance of the present moment and the ability to enact immediate positive changes. CBT and choice therapy asks clients to focus on their present situation and the ability they have to makes choices in order to improve their current experience. Life coaching empowers clients to identify and achieve practical steps towards a set goal.
IFP recognizes the benefits of mindfulness in beginning and maintaining the therapeutic process. Often developing a practice of mindfulness can enable an individual to ‘open up’ and reach the self-awareness needed for effective therapy. Overall physical health can have a dramatic effect on mental health. IFP takes nutrition and diet into account taking a holistic approach to an individual’s experience.
By combining the therapeutic understandings with the life skills and practical tools, IFP is able to offer a unique therapeutic modality that reaches to the heart of an individual’s life experiences enabling them to make dramatic steps forward.
