Best spiritual/ psychological model for healing

[aklacor727]

I wanted to share, because I assume most of us here have similar world views. For anyone who is not familiar or studied internal family systems, I am blown away by it! 

I am going to explain it from a spiritual perspective.

The paradigm is that the mind consists of multiple parts rather than being unitary . The idea is to access “Self” (witness conscious) to get to know, understand, and accept all parts, integrating the internal system. 
 

The creator of it said in an interview once, he started realizing the parts actually have their own parts. This made me think of @Leo Gura’s episode on holons. So, even though the idea of parts conflicts with non-duality, I loved that he said that, and realized that. 

It’s paradoxical but makes perfect sense that in order to integrate, feel whole, and balanced, the more we’re able to separate out of these parts, and have awareness and acceptance  around them, the more they all become one, allowing every day consciousness to be more Self led rather than from these different parts that are led the by limiting beliefs and emotions that they  carry. 

I am in a time period In my life where parts in me have  been very triggered and upset, I’ve only been working on getting to know my parts for a couple weeks but the difference I feel in my peace already is insane to me. I’m sure it helps that the feelings were already so surfaced 

Either way, I’ve been so excited to find this model, and feel as though I found a very practical way to guide spiritual and psychological healing. 

Obviously there’s much more to it. But I hope for anyone else interested in both psychology and spirituality, and systemic thinking, this intrigues you enough to look into it more!  And regardless of the spiritual aspect to it, it’s extremely helpful anyway, because the brings the separation needed no longer identify and feel so merged with all these parts. We know feelings and actions follow from how we identify ourselves.
