• “ You will find that your subpersonalities are not at all what they seem. They represent inner forces that have been suppressed by difficult life circumstances. It will be even more encouraging to realize that you have a core, an essence that is not affected by traumatic life episodes. What the theory of internal family systems calls "I" is in each of us; it is a source of wonderful qualities, using which we can lead both inner life and outer life. "
