Understanding Parts of Self
The concept of 'parts work' explores the internal divisions within an individual, allowing them to understand how different aspects of their personality interact with each other. These parts can be classified into three categories: exiles, managers, and firefighters. Exiles hold vulnerability and trauma from the past, while managers help navigate daily life by moderating emotional responses. Firefighters act in crisis situations, often resorting to extreme measures like anger or addiction to cover up feelings of discomfort linked to these exiled parts.
