- No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model

An excellent read. Easy and explained in laymen terms. Really opens your eyes to new ways of thinking and *being*.

I needed a book like this. For so long my therapists tried to make me live with my distressing emotions. I told them I don't want to feel like this my whole life. I need closure, and internal conversation that will resolve things. I did my own research and came across Internal Family System therapy model. Halfway through the book now and it has given me tremendous insight and realizations about myself!

I have been reading this book in bits and pieces for an entire year. This book has supplemented my personal journey of therapy and beyond. It takes a while to digest the kind of things the author is writing about and I mean tj go back to different parts of the book to fully understand the potential this book carries to heal me. Simply written with powerful thoughts to consider. A must have for anyone who wishes to embark on a journey of self-understanding and who believes that there are parts inside us that drive what you do and how you feel.

I cannot emphasise enough how amazing this book is! With everything we go through in life, we become so disassociated from our true selves and start living through a fear-centred lens. But can you really call that living? This book will bring you closer to your true self and fill your heart with warmth, even in moments when you're simply existing. A 10/10, highly recommended read. ✨📖

This book is the best psychological and spiritual one I have read so far!it gives solutions for people and is so aligned to my understanding of spirituality!

THE BEST BOOK EVER, Period - Next time you look at a person you would be able to look at them from a different lens

Even though I am an IFS therapist, I still found many new nuggets of insight from Richard’s writing. This is also a great book for clients who are working with an IFS therapist to deepen their process.

this was a discovery for me. someone told me about IFS and I was so curious. I had worked with therapists before but mainly CBT and I had just gotten to know about maladaptive schemas so when I started reading this book, I was hooked. the idea that we have parts and those parts need to be seen for who they are is so so interesting but it is hard to do this using just this book. I tried looking for online videos and podcasts but I think this is yet to be researched well enough so IFS needs I guess more real advocates. good quality wrt production maybe therapists who know some techniques can make use of this but how well can individuals do it themselves is something the author has not addressed honestly and on that I felt a bit misled.
