Review Quotes:
"I am so grateful to Ashley Booth for creating this delightful rendition of the model I have spent my adult life developing, Internal Family Systems (IFS). By combining her evocative and playful illustrations with a deep understanding of IFS, she has created a vehicle for anyone to quickly comprehend IFS and begin using it to access their Self and change their relationship with their parts. By handing this book to their clients, IFS therapists won't have to spend sessions explaining the model and, once the book's use is widespread, it will help many do IFS on their own. Again Ashley, I'm so grateful!"
