hmmm...I wonder if you can think of it more as "sides" than "parts"? Just a guess...cause I am not fully educated on IFS or anything like that. I am not DID either, but there are many different "sides" to me. There is the side that likes to take care of everyone around me, then there is the side of me that would like to be cared for. Both me, whole me...but seen from different angles.
