I’ve never heard of IFS in particular but I really like the sound of it! I have sort of naturally started experiencing my mind as consisting of multiple parts and agents as a result of therapy and introspection (also studying neuroscience and evolutionary psychology). It really helps me to understand and accept my mind as it is when I don’t believe it’s actually one consistent thing, but multiple modules with potentially conflicting goals.

You may be interested in my article about IFS, as well as this recent talk by its developer which I think gives a good overview of the model.
