Sounds a lot like "Parts Work" So happy IFS is making it into the Spiritual World. Dick Schwartz just put out an IFS course for Spiritual Directors - I'm on my way to listening

Indeed. I first found Schwartz’s work on VHS tapes almost 25 years ago. He’s certainly not the only one to talk parts, subpersonalities, even many “selves” (see Elizabeth O’Connors work from many decades ago!) But IFS is a big part of my integrative model! Thanks Cindy!

Thankyou Chuck for this writing. I have been following your work since "When Narscisism Comes To Church" came out. You have helped me heal and make sense of my past and I am sp thankful. I love that you are writing tnis new book on Character. I cant wait to read it.

I am working with Soul Care Institute (Kaylene and Jimm) on hosting a retreat up here in western Canada. I know you do some work with them. I hope to meet you one day and thank you in person.
