Every Part has a positive Intent for your Life!

Thank you for this thoughtful "rant"...You're championing of, and appreciation for, our protectors is a beautiful thing ;-> I'm relatively new to IFS myself, but I have found it to be a GAME CHANGER in my own healing process. I can also identify with how some other healing methodologies seem to "minimize, judge, censor and/or even shame" our wounded parts...and may seek to silence, override or 'reprogram' those hurt parts rather than (just) GIVE THEM SOME COMPASSIONATE LOVING ATTENTION! I have struggled with the feeling that "I had to work against myself to 'get better' " and found that really didn't cause the healing I was seeking. IFS is beginning to help me partner WITH myself, with ALL of myself rather than be 'a house divided'. I'll end my rant ;-> with another thank you (!) for all of your thoughtful and enjoyable content.

Thank you so much - I am learning and resonating with all this due to your clear and concise explanations.
