Internal Family Systems offers a non-pathologizing approach that views parts as well-intentioned entities acting in the self's best interest, even if they are currently out of alignment.

“what I like about it is the non-pathologizing kind of approach like instead of naming these things with you know terms and words that make us feel bad about ourselves or you know are in alignment with some kind of diagnosis it's understanding that all these parts are actually good faith actors”

Internal Family Systems is a therapeutic modality that operates on the premise that human minds are composed of multiple distinct parts rather than a single unitary personality.

“none of us are unitary personalities that it's the nature of the mind to have lots of different what I call Parts but other people call other names ego States things like that some personalities that it's natural and that those parts are all valuable”
