As per the title, has anyone tried IFS therapy (Internal Family Systems) to help with your suicidal thoughts and feelings? If you have - or even if you haven't - any thoughts about this approach?

Never tried it with a therapist but it's been one of the more useful models for me. Although I do feel like it gets a little complicated after a while, to consider all your different parts and name them and communicate with them. It takes a lot of mental bandwidth to do that every day

Hi @hughmun9
I'm thinking of doing it on my own too. Yes, it seems like a TON of work, but then I've tried everything else and I'm actually sinking deeper. So I figure a lot of work with a chance to survive, or keep banging my head against the wall with the tools already in my toolbelt, or commit suicide. So I'm leaning towards hard work (as long as I'm not feeling suicidal, of course).
I've read the first couple of chapters of 'No Bad Parts' by Richard Schwartz, the guy who invented this therapy. He's got exercises in the book. It's the audiobook on Audible, which is nice for the exercises. Is that what you're doing too?
