🕯️ IFS and Parts Work

Parts work is the heart of IFS—the sacred practice of meeting every inner voice as a living being with purpose, emotion, and story.

A judging part, a playful part, a scared part, a tired one—all carry their own memories and beliefs about what’s needed for survival.

IFS doesn’t divide them into good or bad. It asks:

• “Who’s here right now?”

• “What are you trying to help me with?”

• “Would you like me to get to know you?”

As Self leads with curiosity and compassion, protectors soften, exiles are witnessed, and the whole system begins to harmonize.

Parts work isn’t about controlling the mind; it’s about befriending it. It’s learning that healing doesn’t happen through elimination—it happens through inclusion.

In IFS, every part belongs. Even the ones that scare you are simply love in disguise, waiting to be understood.
