Editorial Review “Ilyse has written a slim volume with a lot of heart—a beautiful introduction to the actual doing of IFS therapy. This book will help people who are new to IFS to try it on, like a new pair of glasses, but these glasses are for looking inward. The author weaves her own parts stories into the pages, making the journey feel friendly and accessible to anyone. Thank you, Ilyse. Your work will inspire many to heal their traumatized parts with IFS therapy.”
—Colleen West, LMFT, IFS approved consultant and author of We All Have Parts

Editorial Review “Ilyse does a beautiful job inviting you to explore all of your parts with curiosity, compassion, and nonjudgment, reminding you that no matter what, you are already whole. This is the first book every trauma survivor should read to understand their internal experience.”
—Yolanda Renteria, LPC, somatic experiencing coach

Amazon Review “This book is so great, aside from IFS she also introduces a wide range of very useful modalities and pioneers in the fields of psychology. The author is vulnerable and authentic, qualifying all of the theory with examples of her own life. I’ll be recommending this one to a lot of people!” -adk2104

Amazon Review “I really enjoyed this perspective and approach to IFS parts work. I’ve read a lot of books and done several trainings on IFS and this one was different in that it approached the work from a different angle without adding or subtracting unnecessarily to Dick Schwartz original work. This is an excellent addition to anyone’s library of IFS work, and I highly recommend it as a useful, cohesive, and tangible self-help IFS work.” -Lisa Runzo

Amazon Review “It is so true, what is mentioned in the book, that the past will come up and be present in you even if you do not want this to happen. Great insight from a therapist who also heals her past. This is for me the most trusted therapist that also addresses her past and helps others at the same time. So good to be able to dig deep into the book and its information to understand ourselves and heal on a deep level.” - The Twin Flames

“Instead of holding the belief that humans are simplistic creatures who can shift their mood or perspective on a dime, what if we consider the complexities of our internal make up? What if we consider that we are not a single thing but, instead made of many internal parts who, with each facet of life we have endured, have learned to do different jobs to keep us fully functioning?”
