“Parts Work” is a term in the therapy world that describes several different techniques, interventions, and styles that all have a similar foundation. Parts Work is based on recent and ongoing research about how our personalities are developed and the belief that everyone has sub-personalities which are created often to handle difficult or traumatic events in clients’ lives. I.F.S (Internal Family Systems) is currently a popular application of this approach.
Parts work therapy is a practice oriented, course which trains experienced Counsellors to work with clients to identify and work with the “parts” of their personality which may be “running the show”. This therapy is particularly helpful for clients who carry trauma and shame. It is easy to learn and practice. You must have some clinical experience in order to attend.
