Do you want the people in your life to know what this 'IFS thing' is all about? Well, here you go!

We also talk about how perfectionism, need to try harder, need to get it right, need to never make a mistake, etc. parts may form and why.

We talk about being 'too' sensitive, loud, quiet, etc., and how we can get the message, "It is not safe to be me, I need to Dim My Light as a way of being in the world."
