From Healing through Empathy & Self-Compassion: Karen Faith β Into Healing S2, Ep.11:
βThe experience of dissociation, which is again a protective experience, right? It's a really beautiful thing that my mind has done to help me process and survive and move forward.
A big part of addressing it and healing is finding all those parts and befriending them again, letting them speak, and letting them come out. And that can be really challenging. Some of the parts are preverbal. Some of the parts are children that have had experiences that children shouldn't have, and they have things to say, they have things they need to do, they have burdens to release.
There are a lot of really great therapies. The most well-known was developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, called Internal Family Systems Therapy. And it's so funny because, in my TED Talk, when I talk about speaking to myselfs, at the time that I gave that talk, I was not aware of IFS and had come to the practice on my own, more or less.β
