No Bad Parts

Résumé du livre

Richard C. Schwartz, PhD pioneered the therapeutic method called Internal Family Systems and is director of an institute by the same name that shares the work around the world. He’s published five books and over 50 articles on this therapy and is a sought-after public speaker.

Connecting with your inner parts is an ongoing practice, not a destination. By engaging in daily exercises, such as scanning your body and mind for sensations and emotions, you can build trust with your protective and exiled parts. This trust fosters healing, enabling your internal system to become harmonious and enriching every aspect of your life. As you heal, your interactions with others shift, allowing you to see them with compassion and understanding. The author identifies eight qualities—curiosity, courage, connectedness, compassion, confidence, calmness, clarity, and creativity—that emerge when aligned with your true Self. Healing also involves re-parenting wounded parts with love and empathy, as illustrated through a visualization exercise with an environmental activist, who transformed their inner child’s pain into joy. Trauma often traps parts in harmful roles, but by engaging with them compassionately, you can release their burdens and foster internal harmony. This process reconnects you with your body, enabling emotional and physical well-being, and reveals your core Self—a wise, compassionate presence capable of guiding your internal family toward balance.
