Blending IFS and Ba‑Zi: A Therapy Tool for Women in Transition
How IFS and Ba‑Zi Complement Each Other
The Lunar New Year (Chinese New Year) is quickly approaching! Ba-Zi has been a huge part of my life - I started learning about it in my European-American family when I was only a kid. To this day, we still stick to it, often commenting on each other’s animals to better understand what makes each other tick.
In honor of the New Year, I have created a worksheet that combines ancient parts work with modern parts work. My clients and I have found it to help organize our inner world and map out which parts belong to which animal. After doing this worksheet, my clients and I have felt more connected to our parts and more aware of what will make our inner world feel more at home.

Try it out and if there is enough interest, I would love to do another blog that goes more in depth about Ba-Zi and IFS.

Grief isn’t always about death—it can come from change, distance, or losing a sense of who you are.
I'm Katherine Linscott, LMFT. I offer Grief Therapy for those navigating life shifts like emotional distance from family, identity loss, or transitions that leave you feeling untethered.
I also offer therapy for women 45+ and their support systems going through perimenopause.
