The Self & The Parts
A therapy model created by Dr. Richard Schwartz that views the mind as a family of different "parts" guided by a core "Self". It operates on the premise that every part has a positive intention, even if its protective behaviors are currently causing emotional distress.
“Parts don’t need to be controlled or managed; they need to be understood, listened to, and loved.”
