Internal Family Systems people - is it possible for different parts to be at different developmental stages?
Say a part is quite young/created in early childhood - would that part be limited to the developmental stage at the time it emerged?
Conversation
v much so - parts get stuck at specific ages, specific memories, being stuck developmentally kinda comes with that territory
core transformation has a step where you explicitly ask them to grow up (by integrating your memories of growing up)

Did you use the Core Transformation book (Andreas) to work with this stuff?

nope, asked a friend to guide me through a few sessions, i didn’t make much progress and the one time i asked a part if it wanted to grow up it said “NO” very firmly 😅
