No Bad Parts: How the Internal Family Systems Model Changes Everything by Richard C. Schwartz

I'd say this is best when paired with therapy. Working through some of the exercises with professional guidance would seem to be most effective.

This has been such a helpful frame with which to work with. I am not fully red pilled on some of the stuff he says, but IFS therapy has been a real game changer for me, and I would recommend Parts Work to basically anyone.

This book goes into how you can treat all parts of yourself with compassion and understanding and love and how to heal from traumas using this model. The Internal Family Systems Model is basically like emotions in Inside Out. Just different parts of yourself taking control of your emotions and actions. It’s pretty neat. Also goes into spirituality and how religion isn’t the absolute one answer to everything and I really liked that.

The author came in and started narrating and it was too annoying.

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.
