Understanding the Concept of Parts Work
Parts work involves recognizing that our inner world is complex and diverse, consisting of different parts, or sub-personalities. These parts serve various roles, such as managers, protectors, and exiled wounded parts. While some parts may seem problematic, they often have good intentions, like numbing pain or meeting intimacy needs. Rather than pushing away these parts that may lead to harmful behaviors like pornography use, a more effective approach is to befriend them, acknowledge their positive intentions, and find alternative ways to manage difficult emotions and fulfill intimacy needs.
