Welcome to Litsy!

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our approach to mental wellness � Overturning the cultural, scientific, and spiritual assumptions that reinforce an outdated mono-mind model � The ego, the inner critic, the saboteur�making these often-maligned parts into powerful allies � Burdens�why our parts become distorted and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.�
