Joe, this is wonderfully written and coincides with my experiences using Internal Family Systems but also extensive amounts of time in zazen, just sensing into my inner world. I've recently started learning shamanic and Tibetan techniques to attend to complex emotions and their accompanying beliefs, and I appreciate the depth of your work. I know we've been aiming to connect...I'm around more now, kind of drifting.

Thank you, Sun! Yes, IFS does a great job of working with the multiplicity within ourselves, and fieldwork supports it rather well. I'm so curious to talk with you about your experiences in zazen, shamanic and Tibetan techniques, especially because I think fieldwork could also be a nice adjunct for many spiritual practices and I'm wanting to put together some kind of guide for that. I'll reach out through our DM/chat here.
