yes, i had only heard there was one inner child so finding out there were many was a bit of a shock but now that i've read about all this inner family systems therapy it is making more sense. i still think it's pretty trippy though.

I have done this too in session. My T says this is ego state therapy. It's really very cool, when you think about it!

i kept hearing miss c mention ego state therapy and when i researched it i found out about this inner family systems therapy. i'm guessing it's all related. my t called what we did voice dialog. just when i'm thinking this stuff can't be real this part of me says something i would never say and i found out an interesting piece of info to help understand why i battle myself so much. of course it all made perfect sense in hindsight but in the moment i thought it was nuts. lol.
