Parts Work: A Conversation with Tom Holmes
We warmly invite you to a conversation with Tom Holmes, author of Parts Work: An Illustrated Guide to Your Inner Life—a book that introduced many readers to the world of Internal Family Systems (IFS). This is a unique opportunity to get to know the author, learn more about his professional journey, his understanding of the IFS model, and the ideas he hoped to convey through his book. Participants will also have the chance to ask questions and share their reflections and impressions after reading the book.
Parts Work: An Illustrated Guide to Your Inner Life has become an international bestseller, with more than 100,000 copies sold, and is now available in Ukrainian.
