Publisher's Synopsis
If you are queer or transgender, you may feel like you have to hide certain aspects of yourself in order to "blend into" society. You may even feel ashamed of your differences. You aren't alone. Many queer and trans people feel disconnected from their authentic selves, or have internalized negative beliefs. So, how can you fully embrace the beauty of who you are? All Parts Welcome offers skills grounded in internal family systems (IFS) therapy to help you build self-compassion, strength, and resilience as you reconnect with, reclaim, and befriend parts of yourself. The concept of multiplicity in IFS will show you how to honor all parts of your identity and help you gain a greater understanding of these parts. This workbook will help you: heal the pain of rejection; honor coping mechanisms that have helped you; identify what matters to you; set boundaries; build community and meaningful connection; and boost your mental health. IFS is about inclusion and belonging--about making space for the complexity of our identities and experiences, including both the challenging and joyful ones. If you're ready to celebrate all of the parts that make you you, this workbook can help you get started.
