A different take that I found helpful.

I’ve been in therapy for nine months struggling to make progress. This book help me identify problem parts, why they were there, and how to help them heal, and step aside. The paper version has illustrations.

good starting point

This book illustrates the main concepts behind IFS and provides some guidance on identifying your different inner parts. Overall, a great place to start with IFS.

“ Parts Work? “ It WORKS !

Someone loaned me this book, so when I listened to it on AUDIBLE I followed along in the book. I’ve never done that before but it was fun because I could see AND hear ! This is a GREAT LISTEN ! What I Love about t Audibles is that I can pause and DO the exercises in Self Help books such as this.
Parts Work teaches a method that helps us understand the various aspects of our personality. Our experiences as we grow up NEVER comes without SOME kind of Damage. This book helps us understand the “ Good Bad and the Ugly,” of the STRENGTHS and WEAKNESSES that can lay deep within the different facets of our personality. One can learn how to identify those parts that keep us going in circles and keep Damaging our attempts at having peace within.
It also teaches us how to get those damaged areas in our personality, out of the basement and upstairs into the living room for a GOOD TALK! Then we can learn how to be the ONE in Control of that little part of our personality that is challenging us at the time. Only THEN WE CAN CHANGE that weakness into a Strength and use it to our ADVANTAGE INSTEAD of to our Detriment !
This is a FANTASTIC SELF HELP book that will in being a BALANCED Human Being!

I love this book!!!

A very concise and comprehensive look at parts work. The content is Simply profound and profoundly simple. The author refers to pdf files that accompany the audiobook but this content was not made available upon purchase. That was the only disappointing factor for me. I had to buy a physical copy to be able to see the documents referenced in the audiobook. Not exactly fair.

Great Read,

This book was extremally informative. I beginning my parts work and I now have a foundation for working with my parts. I will also share this book with my therapist.

The Happy Pig

I dislike the fact that the happy pig is a label they use for a part. There could've been any other label used that would come off as less offensive. Otherwise I love the book and I apply it everyday to my life.

insightful and accessible

I will reread and use this! Thank you for sharing your perspective and practice.

Did not care for it

Although this was helpful in understanding a few things I did not care for some of the language in it such as referring to one of the parts as a pig when it came to food. People with eating disorders listening to this would, in my opinion, trigger people. Also there was not clear cut information in Parts work as I thought there would have been.

if I could have returned this book I would have.
