Both me, whole me...but seen from different angles.

I read a bit on that IFS website you gave me. I think I understand why my T doesn't bring this up (except that one time) in my own therapy. I think in many ways I have moved past the "roles" in my own dysfunctional family and no longer really play a part. I am always present with myself ("The Self"). I have good "boundaries" (even though my own family doesn't seem to have very many of these).
I feel glad that I think my T really does know me well enough to know that bringing up IFS subjects would likely not resonate with me.
