What It Represents
The map represents parts or inner states, relationships or conflicts, supported protective/vulnerable indications, practitioner notes, unresolved areas, and update history.
Parts Map / Internal System Map
Parts Map / Internal System Map is a collaborative IFS visualization tool for practitioners and clients working with multiple inner experiences, conflicts, or protective responses. It helps them differentiate active parts, represent relationships or conflicts, and update the internal system picture as new dynamics emerge.

Tool guide
Learn more about this tool
Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Client Collaboration
The client can participate by naming, correcting, moving, splitting, merging, or revising parts and relationships during collaborative use.
Relevant Limitations
The tool does not diagnose, score, impose a taxonomy, infer hidden dynamics, or generate treatment recommendations.
Does the map start with predefined part categories?
No. Defaults favor a blank, client-led map rather than pre-filled categories.
Can the client edit the map during session?
Yes. In shared in-session mapping mode, the client can help name, move, correct, and revise parts or relationships.
Can I use a list instead of a visual canvas?
Yes. Map view can be visual canvas or structured list, and switching views preserves the same content.
What is saved after the demo?
The tool and selected settings are saved; fictional demo parts and relationships are not saved as real client data.
