I’m thinking back to when I found Internal Family Systems as the most personally resonant way of understanding our inner selves. Did I love this so much because by that time I had already been a psychotherapist for awhile and was so into conversation? Or maybe it started when I was young and the RELATIONSHIP aspect of my religion was ultra emphasized in all places at all times to counter the bad rap religion had for being a restrictive moralistic list of rules? (Sorry to tell ya’ religion, your relationship paradigm needed to go a lot deeper.) I was also introduced to animism around the time of IFS and this too was super relational. Everything is alive, everything, and always speaking.
