Yes! I can really connect with the IFS theories and working in that way.

I think that’s where I get the driver and passenger perspective, which is really easy for me to understand and feel.

I think that’s what maybe brought this question up for me, as far as asking about grounding and switching back to the drivers seat.

DID seems on the far end of the spectrum of what I feel that I experience. I agree with you, that it would be different trying to work with the IFS modality if that was the case.

IFS feels so comfortable to me and it allows me to see my parts in different functional ways.

Thank you for thinking of me!
