well
@embryosophy
should check my ass here but it's something like getting an attractor loop running in your belly/wherever and various forms of subtle communication pulling people into an analogue of it if you watch Wild Wild Country and squint you can kinda see Osho doing it

one thing i've noticed here that seems relevant is that the inventor of a therapy modality seems to be able to run a much stronger loop than their students, and correspondingly seems to affect their clients more strongly and in ways more consistent with the modality

it frustrates me a little that i haven't seen any commentary about this. but like i've watched a video of richard schwartz doing IFS and it feels really important to me that he sort of... vibe-ly hypnotizes people into believing that IFS works, which makes it work better?

Parts work comes from hypnosis, so this makes sense to me. I think of IFS as more of an interface/process than a claim about underlying reality. You just kinda go with it and it works.

Maybe true, but I think people might just be different on how applicable it is. The same way some experience life more/less episodically, others can experience their inner world more/less distinctly as parts. But I do think there's something in the territory there, for most(?).

Yeah some neuroscientists talk about a "neural parliament" with factions fighting for control. It makes sense to compare IFS to that. But I think some suggestion can be helpful here too, to make it easier to see your parts

@embryosophy
i guess i meant like, if you don’t like comparing your parts to parliament why not choose a different model, since the model you choose colors your perception of what intrarelational possibilities are present in the first place

Oh yeah, I often help clients find whatever model works best for them. Some view it more as a family, of course, others as a team of superheroes, a starship crew, a meeting of fictional characters... it really comes down to what resonates most with the parts and their dynamics.
