"It’s a therapeutic model that views the mind as composed of multiple sub-personalities or "parts," each with its own perspectives, emotions, and motivations. The goal is integration and personal transformation by recognizing that every part of us has a positive intention, even if its methods are misguided. TFW raises a critical distinction between both approaches. As I understand it, IFS helps you connect with your true, whole self to heal the different parts of you that are struggling"
As I was reading this it reminded me a lot of the Jungian psychological approach, to integrate the parts of oneself and become whole through the process of individuation. The Enneagram's reminded me of Jungian archetypes as well.
Have you ever considered exploring Jung's approach in the context of the approaches you're interested in?
Jung was my gateway drug to the mystical, just after Campbell. I didn’t make the connection back to many of these ideas, but I really should have! Thanks for the prod.
For those of you who are new to The Fourth Way and the Enneagram who want to learn more, I recommend referring to Russ Hudson and Cynthia Bourgeault. Both transmit the teachings with clarity and wisdom.
Maybe too long text for me because I'm Spanish girl. However it's so interesting and lovely that it's not a waste of time. I'll do the eneagram test and I totally about substack ✨
Thank you for bringing forth these ideas :)
