More About Vivica And Journey 2 Wholeness

What is Internal Family Systems Therapy?

The Internal Family Systems Model (IFS) is a non-pathologizing model of psychotherapy created by Richard Schwartz in the 1980’s. IFS is based on the premise that similar to the complex external family system, individuals are composed of separate and multifaceted internal parts in relationship with each other. Underlying them is a person's Self, which can be called one’s true or eternal essence.

In the IFS model, there are three types of parts:

Exiles represent the wounded parts of the system, often from childhood, which have been exiled to the basement of the psyche; they carry the pain, fear and anger of the trauma. Managers and Firefighters try to protect a person's consciousness by preventing the Exiles' pain from coming to awareness.
Protectors: Managers take on a preemptive role. They influence the way a person interacts with the external world, protecting the person from harm and preventing painful or traumatic experiences from flooding the person's conscious awareness. Their motto is; “Never again!”
Protectors: Firefighters emerge when Exiles break out of the basement and demand attention. They work to divert attention away from the Exile's hurt and shame, which leads to impulsive and/or inappropriate behaviors like overeating, drug use or violence. They can also be called distractors because they distract a person from pain by excessively focusing attention on other activities such as overworking or overmedicating.

The 8 C’s of Self

These are the qualities of Self energy, innately present in every person, even when not consciously available.

Curiosity
Calm
Confidence
Compassion
Creativity
Clarity
Courage
Connectedness

A core principle of IFS is that every part has a positive intent, even if its actions are counterproductive and/or cause dysfunction. There is no need to fight with, or eliminate parts; the IFS method promotes internal connection and harmony to bring the mind back into balance. Through IFS we get access to Self and then, from there, we witness and understand the different parts in order to heal them.

Voices of Gratitude

Dr Sally F.

Vivica has a consistently gentle and kind manner coupled with deep listening skills and strong intuition. She quickly created a safer container in which I felt seen, heard, relaxed and very safe.
Her knowledge and application of IFS is thorough and insightful.
Over the course of our short time together Vivica guided me to a place of more self acceptance, compassion and energy for which I am incredibly grateful.

Edward F.

The IFS, (Internal Family Systems,) therapy model has proven to be an effective strategy in terms of self development. Specifically, with Vivica's help, we have worked through past traumas relative to overcoming fears regarding interpersonal relationship building.

I know you said you get so much out of helping others but I wanted to say again how thankful I am to have come in contact with you. I'm very thankful for the knowledge and passion that I do have and I wish everyone could at least even make the changes I have made and I'm so passionate so many people could get healed with just lifestyle changes. I've healed so much and come so far and feel great. So, thank you for being there for me and I'll do whatever I can to support you as well and recommend you. I have faith and I have been praying for this and I will continue to pray for me, and our journey but also you as an individual. Whatever you believe, know there are good vibes coming your way!

For years, I sought answers, healing, and relief in traditional psychotherapy. While I found some comfort, I was always left feeling incomplete... (READ MORE)

... burdened with self-blame, and driven by an unshakable yearning—for something. It was as if I were constantly running, fleeing, avoiding, and fighting myself. I spiraled into unfathomable darkness. I resurfaced, yes, but but patterns repeated and it was clear I was merely surviving, disconnected from myself and from others. My days blurred together in a fog of numbness, hardness, and an undercurrent of deep, ever-present fear.

By early 2023, after months of telling myself I should reach out, I finally gathered the courage to contact Naya. At that point, it felt like a last breath—a desperate, exhausted surrender, a flicker of hope in a moment when there didn’t seem to be much left. And so, our journey began.

What followed was nothing short of otherworldly. We delved into profound, transformative inner work—exploring metaphysical realms and connecting with parts of myself that, even as I write this, feel too expansive to name. Initially, my teacher resisted my impulse to dive straight into medicine, guiding me instead through a year of careful healing—gently uncovering hidden truths and navigating the darkest corners of my mind. Through Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, every fragile part of me was acknowledged, held, and gently nurtured as we untangled old wounds and coaxed out the layers I had buried so long ago.

It may sound cliché to say that healing is found within, but I’ve come to know it as a truth. Entering altered states of consciousness allowed healing to take root in ways traditional therapy never could. Where talk therapy often grazes the surface, IFS—especially when paired with medicine—feels like rewiring the very pathways of the mind, body, and spirit. It’s a process of shifting how we cope, how we connect to ourselves, and how we engage with the world around us.

I am profoundly grateful for the lessons and wisdom Naya has shared with me. Our relationship—teacher and student—has grown and evolved, reflecting my own transformation. As I continue to deepen my ability to hold space for myself, I find myself moving into a new phase of healing. What began as a year of repair has blossomed into a second year of heightened self-awareness. I am more present with my emotions, more accepting of myself, and more deeply connected to the world around me.

With deep gratitude to Naya, I can honestly say that anyone searching for healing, growth, or self-discovery should begin here. Her guidance has been transformative, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone on their own journey.
