Just what I needed pops do not indicate what kind of person I am.

Does IFS parts work have a place in working with OCD and rumination? Intuitively I’ve been trying to relate to the “ruminator“ as a part of me that has something it feels is important for me to know. Without that relationship, I find myself trying to distract or push it away, and it comes back much louder. The rumination is around a very painful conversation I need to have with a family member. There’s so much fear around it, that I keep re-playing what happened to be clear when I approach the. There is a strong pervasive history of gaslighting. I feel like I need that clarity to not be thrown off course, but now the second I wake up in the morning before I even know where I am, the rumination starts and emotionally I feel overtaken by it completely. What began as an attempt to find clarity so that I could stay grounded in the conversation… Is now feeling obsessive and self punishing. It is keeping me stuck, not helping me move forward. It has been a year now, and is fueling chronic symptoms in my body. Anyway, I was curious, because I find parts work, a very loving, non-pathologizing way to work with anything difficult in my life, but I’ve heard well-respected OCD specialists say parts work has no place in this process. May I ask your thoughts?
