IFS
Is it more helpful for you to view the “parts” of you as people,
Or as an ecology of people, animals, plants, whatever shows up?

try both and see which one feels better

For me they tend to show up as kinda floaty energies or drives, some of which have plants or animal or human vibes—but I see most people taking about theirs as humans, almost as characters or types of guys hanging out inside. Wanted to check in on how everyone’s vibing

makes sense! honestly i think these things kinda necessarily have to be individually tailored, if that’s how they show up for you then i’d suggest rolling with that 👍

Do you have any starting reading recommendations for IFS? I've read Scott's book review on the subject, but I'm not sure where to start and am a little of afraid of looking/winding up a little nuts. It sounds kinda close to deliberately splitting yourself.

i think for the people who take well to it it feels more like discovering how split they already were. if you don’t feel drawn to it there are other alternatives. theoretically i like coherence therapy a lot but i’m not sure how well it’s suited to self-therapy
