IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy modality can be a great approach for trauma, grief & loss, life transitions, and other challenges. In therapy, it works by helping you understand and connect with different “parts” of yourself, especially the ones carrying pain, so you can respond to them with more clarity, compassion, and balance.

Mina, Ash, Kaitlyn, and Brynlyn incorporate this approach into their practice, helping you reconnect with your sense of self. Free consults across Canada 🇨🇦🛋️

💚 On May 7th, at , we will be facilitating a live workshop on IFS. You can join now to access all available replays (20+ sessions) and attend the live event.

🛋️Somatic therapist explains: when something stressful or overwhelming happens, your nervous system goes into a protective state (fight/flight/freeze). Your breathing often becomes faster and more shallow, staying in your chest (rather than in the belly) - helping your body react quickly.

The issue is that sometimes your body doesn’t fully switch back to a relaxed state after. So even when you’re safe, it keeps that same breathing pattern.

That’s why constant shallow or chest breathing can be one of the signs that your nervous system is still on alert.

🛋️🧡Somatic therapy can address those issues and shift your body to a safe mode. Free consults with somatic therapist Mina are available across Canada (AB, BC, MB, SK & other🇨🇦

❓🥲Have you ever cried during yoga? Which pose were you in?

Sometimes, movement can bring up unexpected emotions. When we slow down and connect with our body, we’re not just stretching muscles a we’re also releasing stored tension and stress. Certain poses can activate parts of the nervous system linked to emotional memory, so feelings that were pushed down can surface.

It might feel surprising, but it’s actually a healthy response. Letting those emotions move through your body can help regulate your nervous system, reduce stress, and create a sense of relief or clarity afterward 🧡

IFS (Internal Family Systems), also known as parts work, is a therapy approach that sees the mind as made up of different “parts,” each with its own role, emotions, and intentions ( managers, firefighters, exile) Instead of fighting these parts, the goal is to understand and work with them, guided by your core Self, to create more balance and healing.

At TCC, Mina, Ash, and Kaitlyn work with this modality, free consult available across Canada 🇨🇦
