As you consider whether to join us in our discussion of No Bad Parts by Richard C. Schwartz, please keep a few things in mind. I am not a therapist, nor am I trained in any type of counseling, life coaching, or related fields. I am a member of the Boom community who loves to read and loves to learn more about myself. It’s important to me that it’s clear that I am not trying to act as an expert in this or any other type of mental health treatment!
No Bad Parts by Richard Schwartz, is part of the Internal Family Systems model. Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an approach to psychotherapy that identifies and addresses multiple sub-personalities or families within each person’s mental system. These sub-personalities consist of wounded parts and painful emotions, such as anger and shame, as well as parts that attempt to control and protect the person from the pain caused by the wounded parts. The sub-personalities are often in conflict with each other and with one’s core Self, a concept that describes the confident, compassionate, whole person that is at the core of every individual. IFS focuses on healing the wounded parts and restoring mental balance and harmony by changing the dynamics that create discord among the sub-personalities and the Self.
