1. Welcome to the Parts Book Questionnaire. Thanks for coming :)

My name is Karen Locke. I am a teacher and writer in Minnesota, and I have been working with parts of myself for about 20 years in different systems (psychosynthesis, inner family healing, Inner Family Systems). I am currently enrolled in a Level 2 class of IFS in Seattle.

I am very grateful for the help I have gotten from working with different parts of myself- it has literally changed my life! I would like to help spread the word, so I am collecting some information and some stories from others who have benefited for possible use in a book I will write over the next year.

Have you also been helped by parts work? If so, which areas of your life have been affected? The survey will ask for a rating, and maybe an example or 2 if you are willing to give them.

If you are willing to do follow-up interviews or e-mail correspondence, I can use all the examples I can get. So leave me some kind of contact info (this will only be used for this project).

Thanks for helping me out. This is a good cause, and I hope to be able to share the "parts work " story with the world!

Shalom,
Karen
