All parts welcome : the queer and trans internal family systems workbook
2025
Book
If you are queer or transgender, you may feel like you have to hide certain aspects of yourself, both physically and mentally, in order to "blend into" society. You may even feel ashamed of your differences, due to a history of judgment or rejection from others. You aren't alone. Many queer and trans people feel disconnected from their authentic selves, or have internalized negative beliefs about what it means to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, trans, nonbinary -- or anything that deviates from our culture's expectations regarding gender or sexual expression. 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 the parts of yourself you've lost touch with. The concept of multiplicity in IFS will show you how to honor all parts of your identity -- such as race, ethnicity, religion, class, and ability -- and help you gain a greater understanding of how these parts intersect with your sexuality or gender expression. IFS, at its core, 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.
