In this episode, hosts Ruckus and James Tripp explore the concept of "parts work" - the idea that our minds consist of multiple parts or subpersonalities rather than a single unified self. They discuss how recognizing and working with these different parts can be a powerful framework for personal change and therapeutic practice. Both hosts share personal experiences with parts work approaches and discuss how understanding the multiplicity of mind can improve self-awareness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal relationships.
