What is Self, and how do we find it?
In IFS, Self is the essence of us. It’s the part of us that’s not a part. Some may conceptualize this as the Wise Mind, the soul, or the Higher Power within us. It is the inner wisdom that guides us through life, even when parts of us are feeling lost or overwhelmed.
The 8 C’s are believed to be traits that describe the Self. When asking “Is this Self?”, we can look for these 8 characteristics.
When we’re in touch with these traits, it’s a sign that we’re coming from a place of Self.
What do each of these 8 C’s mean to you? What’s an example of how you demonstrate any or all of these in your day-to-day life?
