I’ve been dipping my toes in IFS in a coaching program I’m in now. It’s fascinating, and I love how you describe your good girl part and the sturdy part. Those are both parts I have as well and I think they have played the same roles for me.
This piece is amazing, Cindy! IFS is such great work to do when on a healing path. It's kind of mind-boggling how many parts we each have and how they are all there to do a job and protect us throughout different times in our life. I also love that you talk about how women are expected to stay no matter what or no matter how they feel (gotta love The Patriarchy🙄). I also love that you had that reaction while watching "Apples Never Fall"--good for you! Such a great piece. Thank you for writing it!
So excited to see this! I’m in my Level 1 training for IFS right now, I see an IFS therapist and my consultant is IFS informed, so I’m invested to say the least.
I love this breakdown of the model and will link to it in future newsletters of mine as a wonderful, real-life/grounded not too clinical explanation.
Some of my parts: Rule follower (similar to a good girl part), martyr, caretaking (those 2 are actually different to me, even though they may sound the same), and an Island/Isolator part (among dozens more 🫠)

I haven’t watched the show but I read the book. Based on this scene alone I think I will watch it, I had felt torn over watching!
