In this episode we discuss a popular therapy approach called Internal Family Systems. We analyze a doctrinal basis for the idea that within each person are subpersonalities. We discuss the spiritual implications of such an approach and how bringing all of our parts to Christ can unburden and heal them which then causes them to work us in healthy ways. Register for the Savior's Tools Podcast and Newsletter:  ⁠https://forms.office.com/r/ck81Zm8AMA
