I left a long term abusive marriage in 2011 because three of my parts came forward and took the wheel for a while. I was in therapy after leaving and afraid to even mention them because I just knew it would “sound crazy”. It’s an incredible relief to see this work being recognized.
IFS is transformative. It is the single most empowering therapy I have tried. I wish more people knew about it. I wish I knew about it ten years ago. My highly sensitive parts have a lot of resistance, and it's only the exceptionally gentle nature of IFS that's ever actually been healing. Up until now, I had been coping.
There are so many great IFS books, including guides for practicing IFS without the help of a therapist, and courses you can join.
I also find it forms a natural pairing with non-violent communication.
