Internal Family System critique

[Rafael Thundercat]

As we know  there are a lot of models do deal with the inner work. IFS is one of them.

This video talks about the nuance using this models.

Also, for many guys here,me included, the work of this guy can be a very good go for ego development. Yes, because while you dont realize God what you are going to do? INTEGRATION. with no integration this work becomes very swallow.

So check it

This guy have a body of work very complete.

Seems like his critique about IFS is that it's an inherently disintegrating and fragmenting theory. Fair enough argument. Perhaps at higher stages integration is more appropriate. 

Developed people can hold more than one theory in their head at one time. Both IFS and a more integrated theory (like SD) can be true at the same time because some people can benefit from integration while other may benefit from deconstruction.

I think he is pointing towards the trap of becoming so emeshed into the parts that one keep imagining that some thoughts are coming from part X or Y and not realizing the thoughts may not need any part to rise up in our minds. Sometimes a sense of shame or guilt come up on me and I have no need to question myself if this is my inner child talking or whatever. Sometimes models become compartiments that cut us from acessing the embodied in the moment feeling that would be much more accurate as a feedback of what is acctually going on with us. I see this compartimentalization happening around me when I listen my peers talking. Every thing become intelectualized by the language in voga, like these people that use Astrology to explain everything for example.
