Congrats on the publication of your book and what a timely and important subject! As I was reading this excerpt, I thought of Internal Family Systems therapy. You’ve probably heard of it, how we have these “parts” inside us. For a long time I had an angry part that I named Never-Again Girl because that was her battle cry: never again. When I stopped trying to evict her, and just tried to reassure that part that I heard her, so much of the pain around that part seemed to go away. All this to say that I know your book is going to help so many people and bring much healing to those who need it most.
Thanks, Tara! I do know IFS! I find it super helpful...for exactly the reason you describe. It's so important to tend to our parts rather than beat up on them.
