Wholehearted Presence

IFS-Informed Spiritual Care

Kerry Backstrom

As an IFS-informed spiritual care practitioner with a background in pastoral services and hospice, I regularly work with people experiencing loss, suffering, or deep change. I also provide support to therapists, teachers, chaplains, coaches and others in caregiving and leadership roles. For me, spiritual care means supporting my clients as they find and follow the sense of meaning and connection that is essential to who they are and what they bring to the world.

Wholehearted Presence & IFS

Everything in the natural world has parts as well as an intrinsic wholeness. The Internal Family Systems model recognizes that the human psyche also has parts and wholeness. IFS invites us to explore the parts of ourselves, even parts that are troubled or burdened, from the perspective of the whole-hearted Self that is naturally present within each of us.
