CHAPTER THREE

This Changes Everything

In Christianity, the definition of sin is anything that

disconnects you from God and takes you off your path.

Burdens disconnect Self from parts and give them extreme

impulses. Burdened parts either don’t experience Self at all or

don’t listen to Self. So when parts are unburdened, it’s not

only that they immediately transform, but they also now have

much more connection to and trust for Self, which is the

second goal of IFS.
