Discover your hidden aspects. Listen to forgotten voices. Reclaim your psychological wholeness through the Internal Family Systems approach.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based psychotherapy approach developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz in the 1980s. It recognizes the mind as naturally multiple - composed of sub-personalities, each with valuable qualities.
IFS therapy helps individuals access their Self - the calm, curious, compassionate center of consciousness that can heal wounded parts and restore inner harmony.
Cabinet of Selves adapts these clinical insights into a structured self-discovery tool to help you map your internal system independent of therapy.
Important: This is not a therapy alternative. For clinical issues, we recommend working with an IFS-trained therapist.
Clinical tools adapted for personal psychological exploration
Identify and document your internal family of sub-personalities using IFS-based prompts—then map their relationships to see alliances, conflicts, and patterns.
Strengthen your core Self and develop the 8 C's: curiosity, calm, clarity, compassion, confidence, courage, creativity, and connection.
Journal through carefully designed prompts to unblend from parts and hold internal conversations with calm Self-energy.
Use visual mapping tools to explore how your parts interact—building a clearer picture of your inner system's dynamics and relationships.
Express the inexpressible. Choose your mood, select active parts, and engage with curated artwork to access emotional insights through visual symbolism.
Track your emotional journey with features like Mood Distribution, Feeling Frequency, Active Parts, and personal check-in history—all downloadable as a PDF.
Visualization is a powerful therapeutic tool that bridges conscious and unconscious processes, enabling deeper self-understanding and integration.
Visualization helps individuals mentally simulate different scenarios, understand various aspects of self, and integrate them. By creating mental images of our internal parts, we can interact with them more directly and compassionately.
Practices like guided imagery help individuals confront and reconcile conflicting parts of identity, developing a harmonious self-concept. Research shows visualization activates the same neural networks as real experiences, making it a powerful tool for psychological change.
Our Approach: Cabinet of Selves offers structured visualization exercises based on clinical IFS techniques to help you safely explore your inner world.

Answers to your therapeutic questions
No. Cabinet of Selves is designed as a self-help tool based on therapeutic principles, but does not replace professional mental health services. For clinical issues, we recommend working with an IFS-trained therapist.
Important Note: We are not therapists. This tool complements therapy, it doesn't replace it.
While journaling is valuable, our tool offers structured clinical protocols from IFS therapy. Mapping and visualization tools help you see systemic relationships between parts that traditional journaling might miss.
We also use DeepSeek's AI API to provide insights while protecting your privacy - all processing happens locally on your device.
Your parts are safely stored in our database, so you can access and manage them across devices. This makes it easy to stay connected to your inner system, no matter where you log in.
For daily check-ins and journaling, we use local storage only — your reflections stay on your device and are never uploaded. You can export them anytime as a PDF for personal use or to share with a therapist.
If you choose to use the AI therapist feature, it’s powered by the DeepSeek API, ensuring advanced but secure interaction without requiring an account.
You always stay in control: a single click lets you delete all local data if you ever want a fresh start.
The tool includes grounding exercises and pacing protocols. However, if you encounter overwhelming material, we recommend pausing your work and consulting a mental health professional before continuing.
Remember: This is a self-discovery tool, not a therapeutic intervention. Proceed at your own pace.
Many therapists recommend using Cabinet of Selves to enhance clinical work. You can share your maps and insights with your therapist to enrich your sessions. Always follow your therapist's guidance.
We specifically provide PDF export for this purpose - to facilitate communication between you and your mental health professional.
