Wow the both of you are so fortunate to have therapists who know IFS. I emailed my T with a link to the wikipedia article. I would love for her to learn IFS but I don't feel comfortable asking her to do that.

The IFS website has a directory of IFS therapist.

IFS Directory | IFS Institute

There are a lot in my area but only one who covers my insurance. She's level one IFS. Not sure what that means but some Ts are level two, some are level 3. Anyway I don't want to leave my T. I wonder if it's okay to go to two therapists, my trauma T and an IFS T.

Another option is to read the IFS book and practice on myself.


MoxieDoxie, is it possible that a Manager part is blocking the other parts from communicating with you? In the DID community it's common for certain parts/alters to block other parts/alters. Some alters are in complete control of the system. A lot of my parts have said there are certain alters/parts who won't allow them to front. Certain parts say they are in control of the library of my early childhood memories. The IFS model seems to be in agreement that certain parts are controlling.
