4 min read
21 November 2023

Hidden beneath the surface, the intricate struggles we face due to a damaged identity demand a nuanced approach to healing. Traumatic experiences, abuse, and the weight of daily stressors create complex emotional layers that traditional therapy often does not fully penetrate. Addressing this need, Freedom & Hope Counselling & Therapeutic Services expertly works with Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) as well as Internal Family Systems (IFS) in Calgary to bring the release our clients are seeking.

Empathetic Healing for Abuse Survivors 

Healing from abuse requires a delicate touch, and EFT offers precisely that. Our abuse therapists in Calgary are adept at utilizing EFT to gently secure individuals in dealing with the complexities of their confusion, conflicting thoughts and feelings. In this safety and security, the IFS’s framework can bring individuals a far deeper understanding of themselves - facilitating control, which brings about a release of suffering and embarks the individual on an empowering and transformative journey toward healing. 

Choosing an IFS Therapist in Calgary

Opting for an IFS therapist in Calgary, particularly from Freedom & Hope Counselling & Therapeutic Services. (remove period), means choosing an evidence-based path with skilled therapists who have lived experience in trauma to restore a healthy Self within the damaged identity of their clients. Fundamentally, our therapists are dedicated to guiding and equipping each client in their journey toward emotional balance and well-being.

Five Transformative Benefits of EFT and IFS

  • Enhanced Compassion and Self-Understanding: EFT-informed therapists are in tune with not only their client’s emotions but their own as well. This emotional maturity encourages insight, as well as frank and open discussions. It encourages individuals to explore and understand the intricate dynamics that they have within - in a compassionate way for themselves, leading to increased self-awareness, courage, and clarity of being.
  • Greater Understanding of their Internalized Self: IFS works to establish your true authentic BEING in leadership over other aspects or parts of ourselves, bringing about control, balance, integrity, and peace to the inner self that clients are seeking.
  • Internal Harmony and Integration: With the rightful leadership, care, and compassion of their BEING - or right selves in charge over their lives, the fight against life’s natural upheavals can be quelled, and internal peace can be restored.
  • Deep and Lasting Healing: EFT and IFS facilitate profound and lasting healing by addressing the root causes of emotional distress – our estrangement from ourselves. 
  • Empowerment and Resilience: Through exploration and authentic understanding of internal parts and their “righting”, EFT and IFS empower individuals to increase their emotional resilience, mirroring the goals of Trauma Therapy in the restoration of the whole self or being.
  • Complementary Integration: IFS, our primary deep healing process, integrates and compliments EFT, as well as other therapeutic approaches such as CBT and ACT, enhancing the overall holistic healing process for effective Trauma Therapy in Calgary.
