Therapist Guide π
Goal: Achieve β¨ Self-Leadership π by helping your client build trust with all their parts (90%+ each).
The System:
- π Star β the client’s Self (their seat of curiosity and compassion)
- βοΈ Clouds β parts of your client’s psyche with protective roles and burdens
Two Modes:
- π Panorama β see all parts; select a target part
- ποΈ Foreground β work with the target part (click for menu)
Therapeutic Process:
- Click a part β opens pie menu with IFS interventions
- “What’s your job?” β learn the part’s protective role
- When parts blend (take over the client), help them “Separate” or “Step back”
- “Feel toward” β if no parts are blended, gets Self energy going (Self-Ray)
- Click the Self-Ray (beam from star) for deeper work:
- π·οΈ Age, Identity β learn the basics
- πΌ Job Appraisal/Impact β get to know protectors
- π Gratitude, Compassion β help parts develop trust
- π¬ “What do you need to know?” β build trust with exiles
Conversations:
When two parts are in conference together, you can start an IFIO-style directed dialogue between them. This is a mini-game with its own mechanicsβsee the Conversation guide for details.
Hints:
- Fully resolve protector/exile relationships
- Some menu items only appear in special circumstances
- Open the help panel at the bottom right corner
