Guide

What is IFS?

- IFS is a therapeutic model based in the belief that people are made up of sub-personalities. These personalities or “parts” are autonomous and serve very distinct roles. Often these “parts” can appear as emotions, thoughts, sensations or behavior.

-IFS believes that at the root of every individual is their “core self.” The “Self” is represented by the qualities of the 8 C’s, confidence, calm, compassion, courage, creativity, clarity, curiosity and connectedness. Everyone has access to this “self” regardless of upbringing.

-There are no “bad parts,” all are trying to help in the best way they know how.

-In order to bring healing to our inner world we have to extend compassion from our core selves to these often polarizing and extreme parts.

How IFS informs my sessions?

-Listening from my compassionate self, I will help you to identify the various parts of your personality with the intent of bringing clarity and curiosity to your entire being.

-We will co-create a loving and safe environment.

-We will move at your pace, never bypassing any emotions or concerns that arise.

-If you don’t want to go there, we don’t. You contain the answers and healing, I am simply here to help guide you towards the trailhead

My approach

  • Parts Mapping

    It all starts by getting a detailed map of your inner landscape.

  • Self to Part Connection

    Next, we’ll extend the loving sunlight of the soul to any and all parts needing the support.

  • CLARITY

    You’ll gain clarity around the concerns of your parts and learn how to speak for them rather than from them.

I completed level 1 Wim Hoff training.  I also work as an Instructor/hiking guide at “The Ashram” in Calabasas, Ca a prestige health & wellness retreat center.

“Murphy is a remarkable listener who draws from a deep well of life experience. In our conversations, I felt understood right away. His guidance helped me start an honest dialogue with myself, which allowed me to navigate major life changes with greater clarity and confidence”

“My session with Murphy was very powerful. He guided me to some places that I very much needed to visit and acknowledge, in order to continue my journey towards who i want to be. Murphy’s comforting nature allowed me to feel safe in going to these sometimes uncomfortable places. can’t wait for another session!”
