Integration Of Parts And Memory Reconsolidation
- Jay Noricks integrates Internal Family Systems, ego-state therapy, dissociative identity work, and memory reconsolidation into one unified model.
- He shifted from Schwartz's language to his own parts framework and incorporated Bruce Ecker's memory reconsolidation ideas.
Start With A Concrete Target
- Define the client's problem in concrete, behavioral terms rather than abstract labels like “low self-esteem.”
- Then locate the specific part that carries that behavior and target its earliest disturbing memory for change.
Interview The Part Directly
- Interview the identified part and dissociate it enough so the patient speaks for that part rather than as the whole self.
- Ask that freestanding part for its earliest disturbing memory to make a clear memory-target for intervention.
