Parts and Memory Therapy

Parts and Memory Therapy (also called Parts Psychology) is based on two controversial ideas. The first is that the mind consists of many parts or subpersonalities, each with its own submind. It is not a single, consistent, streamlined thing. The second is that nearly all adult mental and emotional issues result from our histories of painful experiences.

Permanent healing of these issues comes from finding the parts of the whole self that carry the painful emotional memories and then neutralizing those memories. The parts or subpersonalities of a person carry the memories. The memories are the targets for healing interventions. Healing is done by visualizations that neutralize the emotional energy connected to the memories.
