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outdated mono-mind model .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 more IFS 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.
