“Remember that you did not create yourself.” (22.1)

This section was an interesting read on early psychology. I am not sure I needed to know all that was given. It makes me feel sad for all the people who got misguided treatment. I suppose that before Freud there were no treatments for mental health so it is probably better that I think of these mental health theories as stepping stones.

I feel grateful to be aware of the ‘new-kid-on-the-block psychological modality of ‘Internal Family Systems’ (IFS). In the development of this theory, the founder Richard Schwartz, uncovered below all of our emotional parts that there is a true Self that will speak for the greatest good of the individual.

Is this the miracle level of the subconscious? It seems so to me.
