Description

Discover an empowering new way of understanding your multifaceted mind―and healing the many parts that make you who you are.Is there just one “you”? We’ve been taught to believe we have a single identity, and to feel fear or shame when we can’t control the inner voices that don’t match the ideal of who we think we should be. Yet Dr. Richard Schwartz’s research now challenges this “mono-mind” theory. “All of us are born with many sub-minds―or parts,” says Dr. Schwartz. “These parts are not imaginary or symbolic. They are individuals who exist as an internal family within us―and the key to health and happiness is to honor, understand, and love every part.”Dr. Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems (IFS) model has been transforming psychology for decades. With No Bad Parts, you’ll learn why IFS has been so effective in areas such as trauma recovery, addiction therapy, and depression treatment―and how this new understanding of consciousness has the potential to radically change our lives. Here you’ll explore:• The IFS revolution―how honoring and communicating with our parts changes our approach to mental wellness• Overturning the cultural, scientific, and spiritual assumptions that reinforce an outdated mono-mind model• The ego, the inner critic, the saboteur―making these often- maligned parts into powerful allies• Burdens―why our parts become distorted and stuck in childhood traumas and cultural beliefs• How IFS demonstrates human goodness by revealing that there are no bad parts • The Self―discover your wise, compassionate essence of goodness that is the source of healing and harmony• Exercises for mapping your parts, accessing the Self, working with a challenging protector, identifying each part’s triggers, and moreIFS is a paradigm-changing model because it gives us a powerful approach for healing ourselves, our culture, and our planet. As Dr. Schwartz teaches, “Our parts can sometimes be disruptive or harmful, but once they’re unburdened, they return to their essential goodness. When we learn to love all our parts, we can learn to love all people―and that will contribute to healing the world.” Read more

    • Read this book
I listened to this on Audible, but also have the book. This is such a great intro to part works and so inspiring. I have found this type of therapy so relatable and helpful to me. I know it's cliche to say, but it really has changed my life. The radical assertion in this book is that we don't have just one mind, but many minds. And that doesn't mean we have multiple personality disorder. We have many parts to us, and these parts each have their own minds too. This is why it is so easy to think in two opposing ways at any given time. These various parts were created through our childhoods and sometimes adulthoods to protect ourselves and as ways of adapting to various difficult situations. The problem is that since these parts were created in us while we were young, they are stuck in some old assumptions and patterns that are no longer helpful and sometimes harmful in our adult lives. If you grew up with abuse and/or trauma, these parts can be particularly deep down and harmful, blocking your true self. Healing these parts lessens your burdens and sets yourself free to live your life authentically. This work is not easy, but so worthwhile.... Schwartz's main purpose of this book is to show how through parts work you develop self connection that translates into greater connection with others and even to the world itself. ... show more

    • Love the concept, but some parts were too political
I am a therapist and have recently started learning more about IFS. I LOVE the concepts behind IFS and plan to continue learning more about it and eventually get fully trained in it. This book overall was a very good introduction to IFS. However, there were a few parts in the book where I felt like the author unnecessarily brought politics into it. The first example was in Chapter 7 when he talks about Donald Trump as an example of somebody whom the author's own "protector" parts viewed as a "narcissist, psychopath, racist" etc. I cringed when I read that. He could have used any other example, or made one up, or just used a generic example without naming any specific person. The fact that he had to explicitly name a president just to illustrate a point kind of felt like he was virtue-signaling to a degree. There were a couple other parts in the book that were like that, but one other I'd like to point out was towards the end of the book, in the "Closing Thoughts" chapter, where he said: "This field perspective helps us understand how the Self and burdened parts are contagious, because they're all aspects of fields too. And if we view the Earth as a living, sentient organism, it's as if Self has been increasingly obscured by the fields created by the inhumane ways we have treated the planet and each other. When right-wing, nationalistic leaders emerge in different countries around the planet who are using the same manipulative and despicable tactics, it's as if those countries are becoming enveloped in the same dark field." Ummm, excuse me? What about left-wing extremists who also use manipulative and despicable tactics???? The author is clearly extremely biased against the right wing and conservatism. Other than that, I enjoyed the book and learning more about IFS. ... show more

    • Great insights!
This is very valuable information and very well written - easy to understand. As the new legal guardian of my grandchildren (who were abused by their custodial grandfather for years), I will use this to understand -and hopefully help them through - the continuing effects of their trauma. As a holistic health coach, I will use this as part of my work with clients, in combination with EFT Tapping and Intentional Breathing. Very excited about this new way of resolving trauma through loving presence. ... show more

    • Interesting read to a newer type of therapy
My therapist recommended this book when I told her I struggled with turning inward, being more in my body, negative self talk, and focusing too much on the exterior parts of life. Definitely not a book to sit and read all at once. Had to do some discussion with my therapist and therapists at work to truly understand the concepts (it’s not multiple personalities or dissociative identity disorder!) Wasn’t a fan of some of the very liberal mindset but it can be easily brushed off. Curious to see where this goes and how to implement this into my therapy sessions and life. ... show more
