    Thank you for sharing! I read a bunch about it and found it very interesting, as someone who's currently I guess seeing an IFS counsellor, which has been my "medical" introduction to it (although therapist doesn't seem to believe in complete integration, just mentions reparenting, compromising, inner dialogue, etc. all of which sound kinda healthy to me. She also believes that everyone is a system as well, which I found interesting, wonder what your thoughts are on that?).

    The structural dissociation critique is interesting, yikes that ending.

    (love that pic btw)

      I don't really have an opinion and I don't know much about IFS parts but I thought they don't really behave as independent agents? Although headmates being parts of a system who work together is a very popular framework so I suppose from that POV it makes sense to compare the two. To each their own, but that framework isn't personally relevant.

      love that pic btw

        Thank you for saying this, I appreciate you clarifying.
