Anyone else do Parts Work before encountering IFS?
I've been seeing an IFS-trained therapist for about 15 months, but I started doing Parts work in 1992 (not long after Richard Schwartz started, I guess). Which, among other things, means my Parts don't fully conform to the standard paradigm, but that hasn't proven to be a problem. Mostly, I'm just curious if other people have similar experiences. For me, it was a natural outgrowth of doing Inner Child healing work, but maybe it's not: I read the wrong book to start out and didn't realize that the paradigm in the field was pretty much one IC per customer...
So, I'm sure I'm not one of a kind, but how weird am I?
