An Art Therapy Approach to Internal Family Systems IFS My Parts & Me

[@mysticgardener2704]

Love this! ❤ I am a facilitator in the modality of soul collage and on my walk this morning while listening to your other videos I was thinking how the two modalities would dovetail together beautifully…. And the next video is exactly this idea! ❤ I am also working with combining astrology- planets as parts!

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

Amazing! Yes, I think it does work well with soul collage. Glad you're exploring and facilitating!

[@Martine0509]

I just found you! I’m on my own personal journey and this feels RIGHT. Thank you.

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

Hello Martine Denise! So glad you found me and that it feels right for your journey.

[@sherricannon9407]

Thank you, Kate, for aligning my own INFJ self with IFS by creating these expressive parts cards🙏 I related strongly to 80% of your cards --based on the remaining stack we didn’t see, I’m guessing that you’d encourage us to create a card as something a bit different shows itself, and to not limit the # of cards. Also -I’m eager to learn how you use the cards day to day. THANK YOU❤️

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

I'm so glad this was helpful and resonant for you! Yes, I would encourage you to create as many as you'd like without limiting your expressions. Have fun with it.

Amazing video! It helped me so much to understand protectors and parts. It’s a fantastic idea to use the visual element to bring things to life! Thank you for sharing your personal cards!♥️♥️

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

You're so welcome! I am glad it was helpful for you.

[@piacoates4004]

Thank you. These are beautiful and inspiring…looking forward to representing my parts visually ❤

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

I am so glad it resonates with you!

[@stephanien3509]

LOVE THIS!!! ❤ I think I am going to maybe work on this in the new year! I am still fairly new to IFS… been working my therapist for about a year, but It’s been an incredible journey so far. I think this would just add a more visual dimension to it for me, which I will enjoy. Thanks for sharing! Ps. I’m an INFJ too 😊

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

INFJ's unite!! So glad you found this helpful. I would love to hear about what you make once you do!

[@Sunshinesinthesky]

Wow! This was so unbelievably deep! I related to so many parts, especially to Trust. ❤

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

It makes my heart so happy that you related deeply to this. Keep working with it!

[@beekahrose8]

I have been using your method in between sessions and it has really helped me. In session I was struggling with a confusion part and my mind would go blank. Making cards and finding the right images has made me focus on what feels right and has helped me go from words and ideas in my head to images and feelings. I really appreciate your idea and generosity in sharing it.

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

So wonderful! My heart is smiling :)

[@michaelworshamGodisLove]

I'm in in love with a beautiful person❤😂Kate....

[@sheriu7167]

Love this ❤

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

I'm so glad you find it beneficial!

[@LiveIFS]

Thanks for spreading IFS! 🥳

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

You're welcome!! It's my favorite modality.

[@MsRellaBee]

This was lovely and generous. Thank you for sharing your parts cards with us. I've just started IFS work, and plan to incorporate your card method to my parts mapping.

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

So glad you found it helpful! And glad to hear you will incorporate this. Keep me posted!

[@Soul.Talk.Coaching]

Amazing 🤩 thank you for sharing this with us

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

You're so welcome. Did this answer the questions you were wondering about?

[@Soul.Talk.Coaching]

Most of them.. yes. Thank you. I'm still struggling with the exiles though... But maybe it is going to take them some time to trust me more before they reveal themselves

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

@@Soul.Talk.Coaching it very well might. If they've been hidden for a long time, they need to feel really safe before they show themselves. Try not to focus so much of protectors/exiles. Just start making parts that you're aware of, and one will lead to another.

[@Soul.Talk.Coaching]

I will do that... thank you 🙏🏻

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

[@meridithbertwell1037]

Love these cards and the thought you put into them!

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

Thank you so much, Meredith. I'm so glad to hear that this creative process resonates with you!

[@psyfiles7351]

This is really neat thank you!

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

You're so welcome! I am glad you enjoyed my video. I hope you'll try to make a few Parts Cards and see what comes of it!

[@Nicole-zr1me]

I have a map I’ve drawn of my parts, love the idea of creating cards to work with 🩷

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

Amazing! Let me know how it goes if you decide to create your own cards.

[@gayefairbairn2979]

Brilliant! This is very helpful. Thanks. I will share with my IFS friends ☺️

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

Wonderful! I am so glad you find this helpful

[@deedriawoods7609]

Where can I get more information? Is this evidence based? Do you have to make your own cards? I’m very interested would like more information please.

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

Thanks for your interest! Parts Cards is a directive I have developed in my practice. It is based off of Internal Family Systems and Art Therapy, both of which are evidence based. The process does involve that you make your own cards based on your inner exploration of the different parts of yourself. If you would like more information I recommend you check out my website www.TheRadiantLifeProject.com or look up my book, "The Radiant Life Project."

[@VictoriaCounsellingServices]

Thank you. Love your videos ❤

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

Thank you so much, Victoria! I am glad you're enjoying them :)

[@ttilles]

Is there a place you could possibly share more of these cards? They are magical and inspired ❤

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

I'm so glad you like them! I would be happy to share more of them with you in a private consultation if you would be interested. Feel free to email me to schedule at [e-mail]

[@cbrt2011]

Sounds like SoulCollage(R) cards.

[@TheRadiantLifeProject]

Thanks, Claudia! Parts cards can be seen as similar so SoulCollage(R), but they are also different. These are sourced from a parts psychology perspective and include writing. Similarly, they can be made with magazine collage materials, however I have also created parts cards with watercolor, drawing, and non-magazine collage papers.
