David Tian Ph.D.: Welcome to the final part of this series,
Practical Psychology for Extraordinary Living. This is probably
part four, this is the second half of the true self section. And I
was planning to do this entire true self section at one go at the
live seminar, but we only got halfway through and ran out of
time.
<br></br>
So since then, we’ve been working on a lot of other projects and
I apologize for getting this out so late, but here we go. This is
the second half of the true self section. And in the first half,
which you should watch if you haven’t already, PPL number three —
this should be number four — we covered the three categories of our
parts.
<br></br>
We covered the basic idea of the true self and the concept of
the self as a collection or a conglomeration of loosely held parts.
And we went over — I introduced the main types of parts. The exile
parts, the managerial parts and the firefighter parts.
<br></br>
And then I went over one of the foundational assumptions of —
And I also introduced internal family systems therapy, which is
what this is drawing from, IFS therapy. And one of the guiding
assumptions of IFS is that every part has positive intent. I
believe that this is true for everyone who’s not a psychopath.
Psychopath’s, just bracket that for now.
