What a compassionate conversation. I have deeply resonate with the "Civil War" idea, it's definitely an internal civil (parts) war where the inner critic attacking it's on system (community) parts and where himself have been created by neglecting care givers which were supposed to be the safe "civil" to internalize. Speaking of Schema Therapy, one of the things that supports me allot to activate the soothing system and restoring the capacity for self compassion is children books, and recently there are few new ones about self compassion for kids which are simply amazing. It's OK -Wendy O'Leary and Good Morning, I Love you, Violet ! - Shauna Shapiro PhD. Maybe interesting to hear your thoughts on those books 😊

Thank you for watching and commenting. Your elaboration around the ‘civil war’ idea is really helpful. And CFT definitely does try to think about it a multiplicity/multiple selves/parts kind of way. And yes! I will check out those children’s books for sure. I am familiar with Shaliros work, and will also look into the other one! Thanks again!
