I'd like to learn more of the criticisms of IFS, as its used prominently in a work book I've been using to deal with childhood trauma. I think its been quite useful, but also recognize this workbook is only tangentially related to IFS perhaps and im unaware of how its implemented in other applications. Also I'm not a psych major.

As soon as I leave the UK you visit. Cardiff is a little way from me though. Hope you enjoyed a Welsh cake and cheese on toast. Wales is becoming the outdoor retreat for the UK, loads of things to do.. Let me know if your ever in Oxford.

Genie is the name of the girl who was neglected and never learned to speak. Super compelling, albeit horrifying, case.

very very very brilliant w the tarzan and zettlekasten experiment. outdone yourselves! Is Tarzan AI? Still, he has a body that will die… but if he is this division between ape body and machine language with no symbolic mediation, he can’t figure death. ….. it’s too cool a thought experiment. (u know of course , edgar rice burroughs was william burroughs uncle or some relation… Tarzan a writer’s creation…)
