Internal Systems:
Mindscape and Soulcage
Thumbnail of parts - Meet the internal folks. They've been around since childhood, helping with survival behind the scenes. First acknowledged some of them through internal family system or IFS therapy back in 2021. But soon stopped because every time I did it, my symptoms worsened. I took the helpful bits like having compassion towards parts and that has helped build trust and communication. This thumbnail is an overview of the parts identified so far, inspired by the first couple doodles of doing IFS (last 2 images). The list can change as we go through our healing journey.
Here's my art. I mostly draw
personal comics and illustrations, as well as the parts here. Obligatory trigger warning: SA, SH, SI,
violence,
injury, betrayal.
