The article discusses Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, positing that our psyche consists of multiple parts or subpersonalities that retain the age they were formed. As individuals age, they possess the illusion of an uninterrupted stream of experiences. However, IFS suggests that parts remain fixed at their inception ages, allowing them to maintain distinct emotional responses shaped by their early life experiences. This implies a dynamic interaction within a multi-aged mind, providing new insights, especially after significant life experiences such as loss, as new parts come into play to help navigate emotional landscapes.
According to IFS, our 'parts' largely retain the developmental ages at which they were formed, influencing our emotional responses despite chronological aging.
IFS suggests that as we age, we don't merely accumulate experiences; rather, we maintain a multi-aged psyche where different parts exist at their inception ages.
