This is a strong one. Written during the pandemic by the originator of Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), No Bad Parts explains how to get the different parts of ourselves to work together towards wholeness. Most of us are aware of an inner critic, an inner child, a clown, a judge, a rebel or an inner saboteur (thanks RuPaul) and we might even feel we have different personalities that present in different contexts for different reasons. Despite this, it is usual for us to believe we are just one person, and anything otherwise might suggest we have some pathological disorder. IFS explains this multiplicity is not only ‘normal’ but presents an opportunity for understanding, cooperation and cohesion within ourselves. I believe this therapy makes increasing sense and I predict it will be a major modality in the future.
