Sample Book Insights:
#1 The human mind is made up of subpersonalities, or parts, that exist inside of us and struggle with irrational emotions and desires. These parts are like little people who are doing the best they can to cope with discomfort and pain.
#2 IFS is not the first system of therapy to recognize this. Carl Jung saw it a century ago, and other therapy approaches have been built around this notion. In fact, there has been a surge of therapies that work with subpersonalities recently.
#3 The Busy Part is the part of Sandy that is unconscious, and it has the power to stop her from succeeding. It is trying to protect the Embarrassed Child, who was ridiculed by her peers when she did something that made her publically visible.
#4 IFS is a form of therapy that helps you find your center, pinpoint the parts of you that are causing difficulties, heal them, and unify them. It is not only a powerful form of therapy, but it also lends itself well to self-therapy and peer counseling.
