i agree with this. in my healing, parts work and the concept came easily to me because i do identify as being fragmented, having parts or alters or what ever term you want to use. i found the concept helpful to understanding why i was having the experiences or reactions that i was, especially in relationship with others and it definitly helped me to uncover and come to terms with many of my truama memories and related emotions that i had dissociated from my self as a way to keep my younger self safe and sane. parts work was a major part of my healing work, which a lot of it i was doing on my own outside of therapy. it takes a lot of patience and self compasion to do...it is not about blaming or using it as an excuse for your actions. i don't reckon that parts work is for everyone, especially if they do not have a history of early childhood trauma or developmental truama since it tends to be is in the very early years of infant/child development that the truama causes a majority of the fragmentation that clients may identify with.
