[[IFS]] helps us access [[Self]] and share [[Self-energy]] with our [[Parts]] so they can heal, unburden, and take on better roles. [[The goal of IFS isn't to get rid of parts]], but to earn their trust so that they allow [[Self]] to take the lead. Being [[Self]]-led means having access to the qualities of Self and the unique capabilities of our [[Parts]] which we can call upon as wanted and needed. Being Self-led means living [[An awakened life]].
