Intimacy from the inside out relationship coaching
(IFIO)
What is IFIO relationship coaching?
Intimacy from the Inside Out© is a relationship coaching model that blends the principles of Internal Family Systems (IFS) with psychodynamic theory, systems thinking, and neuroscience. This approach was created by Toni Herbine-Blank to bring IFS concepts into the area of relationships, using the bond between partners as a path to personal and mutual growth and healing.
This method states that we all have an inner presence that fuels our resilience and innate abilities for self-love and self-regulation that can lead to stronger relationships. It is a supportive and non-judgmental approach that helps people understand their life experiences in a safe, collaborative environment.
How does relationship coaching with IFIO help?
In this modality of coaching, each partner is guided on a journey towards a compassionate and secure relationship with themselves and each other. This self-discovery process not only strengthens their inner bond but also enables clients to stay connected with each other, even during stressful times and conflicts. By focusing on both personal growth and the relationship itself, this modality helps couples thrive.
This method helps them communicate effectively, mend inevitable rifts, accommodate each other’s needs, and foster genuine, heartfelt connections.
This approach transforms relationships into mutual understanding and love, enhancing the well-being of both the individual and the partnership.
