who_knows_anymore_honestly_6's review
I was recommended this book (by my mom) for dealing with anxiety but it was awful. As a lot of other reviews pointed out, it’s very self-aggrandizing, and full of random political or religious anecdotes (even as someone who likes talking about those topics it felt out of place). I flipped through it and I couldn’t see any signs that the book got any better. It’s more of a philosophy / new age book than a psychology book, which was very disappointing. However, my mom thought ISF sounded promising, so I might look at some other books about it, but nothing by this author.

Read this book for therapy. I appreciate the concept at a high level and agree with many of the philosophical and theoretical aspects of IFS, but I have a hard time connecting with the practical side. In particular the transcribed therapy sessions did not resonate with me.
