An incredible reframing of the way we process trauma, grow emotional intelligence, and reconnect with all the parts of ourselves that often intertwine. I really enjoyed the exercises in this book because it took the theory of no bad parts and actually put it into practice where you heard from other people's stories/interviews and you yourself can set aside time to do the exercises or meditations too. I also appreciated the progressive approach to how our culture and society contributes to our trauma.
Taking away 1 star because one of the interview examples could be very triggering for some people (the one with the aggressive woman). It's important to show that anger is a valid experience but I think that one needed a trigger warning because her sessions were the most intense with a lot of swearing & self hatred journey. I also would caution that this book isn't always ideal to read on the go because if you want to do the exercises/meditations you might not be able to fully dive in if you are driving or out in public.
Otherwise amazing read! Really shifted my mindset for the better, even after me being in years of therapy & avidly studying psychology before this book. I still learned new things! ✨️

Read this book for therapy. I appreciate the concept at a high level and agree with many of the philosophical and theoretical aspects of IFS, but I have a hard time connecting with the practical side. In particular the transcribed therapy sessions did not resonate with me.
